molting

There are many mayflies on our stucco walls right now resting in the early morning. They have just molted and are easy to catch by hand as snacks for the toadlets. By coming out during the early morning they are trying to find the sweet spot between the predatory ants of the day, and the predatory spiders of the night.
 the variety of flowers is bewildering right now. Everything is putting out colors to attract the myriad insects pollinating them. The yellow lillies are only out during the hottest part of the day, but the sweet clover has stout pink blossoms that are out the whole time. Rare sunflower blooms wrestle with abundant bindweed flowers in profusion. The rare hawk is flying overhead
