The tiny little moth very appropriately called "The Skunk" (polix coloradella) was airborne last night. Its larvae feed on decaying wood and bark.
Bristly Locust is in flower. These introduced locusts form clonal colonies but probably do not produce seeds.
Flax, an agricultural escape, is also in flower.
And a female Snapping Turtle was looking for a place to dig a nest and lay eggs when we crossed paths this morning.
