P. nymphula has made its earliest appearance so far, with late-April to early-May previously having been the time frame in which the first local odanata mark the peak of spring. Taking into account that temperatures are set to rise further and little rain being expected to reach my region towards the end of this week, we currently are set for a drought worse than 2018. And half of my local farmers are switching to wheat at the same time.

We found this beauty yesterday in the garden. Does anyone know what it is? The antennas look amazing.
My little art shop has a selection of landscape and nature drawings in a variety of subjects to please everyone. All one of a kind originals at affordable prices for gifts.

Are there any flowers that Western honey bees avoid? My sister just got several hives and she is worried about the native bee population having nothing left to eat. I'd love to give her a list of plants to seek out for her property. In Central Oregon, so ideally drought-tolerant, too. Thanks for any ideas. #bees #honey #beekeeping #gardening #honeybees #entomology #flowers #apiary #apis #insect #pollinating #pollinators #oregon
Go to the link and see the two weird species that appeared in my backyard yesterday.
