It defeats my google-fu , I'm guessing its a gall , if you know the plant , that might help.

When these red ones go to having a litter, they sure do. There were two adults and probably 45 wee ones up and down the stalks of that plant.
Handsome insect, whatever it is named.

Kind of a crappy capture. Insect turd.
Nope, not a turd.

not the sharpest shot of the day - but the best I got of this flightly tiny bug - going to have to go bug hunting and try again - never seen one like this before.
These guys I see all the time though. .

if I'm not mistake (and I've been wrong before - just three years ago last Wednesday for instance I was wrong) But I think this is Mr and Mrs. Goldenrod Spider - they change from yellow/golden to white depending on the flora they are trying to blend in with.

this beetle was struggling so hard to get out of that petunia - it is totally pollinated.
I've got one of them eating my firewood right now....

What is this little critter sitting pretty on my Mountain Ash Berries?

Did you have your box ready and waiting?
I don't think my neighbors would approve. These are actually a swarm that has apparently left one of the unattended and over-stuffed boxes held by the Arboretum. I don't know if the staff have abandoned the project entirely or they are lacking someone with knowledge to run it properly. Don't get me started.

Actually it is about as safe as bees can be. They are essentially asleep, with the queen deep inside the mass. You can push them about with your finger, if you are daring.
