(Photos are not mine, I just got them off of Google) Okay. These things are NOT bees. All of them are hoverflies. Flies have two wings, bees have four. I keep seeing pictures of hoverflies with people being all like, "Haha, look at this cute bee. She's so great, I think I made a friend today!" Well, guess what? That, "Cute bee" is actually a fly DISGUISED as a bee.
Last winter I stared at the bird feeder for hours and took a bunch of pictures every time a bird showed up. I think this one might be my favorite.
White-throated Sparrow
Look at those bright yellow eyebrows, I love them.
Piranga olivacea - Scarlet Tanager
This is actually the first scarlet tanager Iāve ever seen.Ā
Black-capped Chickadee - Poecile atricapillus
My desk spider has disappeared, the fruit fly population in my room has skyrocketed.
This is the jumping spider that lives on my desk. It just caught a fruit fly.
