Field Notes

Hummingbird feeder was leaking sugar water, he thought he would get his fill. So, I filled the frame of my camera in return.

I just started a new mission: non-hummingbird creatures at hummingbird feeders. Your photo would be a great addition. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/11422498

I noticed that on cicaida, mantids, bumble bees and this wasp to name a few, that there are three bumps in a triangle on their heads. Anyone know what they are called and what purpose they serve?

I thought of having a stare-down contest with him, but I don't think he blinks...
