[Pollinator] Hilton Pond 06/01/14 (Daisy Critters)

[Bill Hilton Jr. (RESEARCH)]

A couple of times each year I like to go out with camera and macro lens to see what sorts of insects, spiders, and other tiny critters are drinking and dining on local flowers. (Some are important pollinators.) Come fall Goldenrods will be my favorite hangout but in spring the common Ox-eye Daisy always reveals a fascinating diversity of macroscopic life. "This Week at Hilton Pond" I again visit a local daisy patch and report back in words and images what invertebrates I found--some of which you may be able to identify more precisely. To view the installment for 1-13 June 2014, please visit http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek140601.html

While there don't forget to scroll down for a list of all birds banded or recaptured during the period; there are also some miscellaneous nature notes for your perusal.

Happy (Invertebrate) Nature Watching!

BILL
