Mother Nature often presents some unusual sights. I am grateful when I have my camera to capture them. Here are a few pictures of my recent summer sightings.

| Hummingbird moths mating. |

We have all seen tadpoles before, but in a bird bath, 20 inches off the ground?

 |
| With the exception of my tadpole bird bath, honey bees occupy every water source throughout my yard. Last time I found honey bees drinking water I discovered a swarm. See Dec. 2, 2014 post. |

A wheel bug consuming a Japanese beetle. See Jan. 10 post for more wheel
bug information. |

Ever seen a hummingbird's long tongue? Many people assume they use their beak like a straw, but they actually lap nectar with their tongue, much like dogs lap water.

A plant gall. Often caused by insects, most galls are harmless to the plant.
