Out in the great green world today, a Colorado Potato Beetle laid eggs on the underside of a Horse Nettle leaf. Horse Nettle is a close relative of potatoes and tomatoes (Solanaceae).
In wet meadows dozens of Pickerel frogs pulsed through the grasses.
And in a roadside grass clump a spider - either an Elongated Orb Weaver or an Elongated Long-jawed Orb Weaver - tried its best to look like a blade of grass.
