1. Yellow jackets eat meat. Witness the group feasting.. (I am thankful someone pointed the frog out to me before I squished it under my sneaker.)
2. Unlike the Common Green Darners I have seen, the Comet Darner hangs just out of reach, maddeningly testing my balance and my camera.
3. Ignorance is bliss. Hornets working away at a tree, stripping it for a nest, seemed docile, so I leaned in. I don't think I'll be doing that again.
4. The Blue-winged Wasp is a voracious feeder, weighting the Queen Anne's Lace head like a heavy sleepyhead leaning into Grandma's lacy doily.
5. Buried at the center of a lily, a common skipper becomes an uncommon Tiffany bauble.
6. The female Eastern Pondhawk is as described in book after book: a merciless hunter.
7. Walking with a new friend as OCD as I am about Odanata is a pleasant way to spend part of the day.

Sounds like a great day! I did know about the yellow jackets as they have attacked my turkey sandwiches before :-)
Of course! Picnics and yellowjackets! Somehow, I never put two-and-two together till someone told me what they were doing on that dead frog. :-)
