Tachnid flies were on the prowl today. This one (Epalus signifer) is parasitic on the caterpillar of one of the owlet moths.
And this millipede crossed my path. There are 1400 species of millipede in North America. All are harmless, slow moving feeders on plant material. However, if handled they exude a rather foul smelling liquid.
