Apologies in Advance…

European Chafer beetle larvae…if this creeps anyone out.

 

I found two of these disgustingly fascinating grubs while pulling up old tomato plants today. I found out that they’re European Chafer beetle larvae. The beetle itself isn’t horrible looking, but these larvae are something else. Their bodies are kind of translucent, which makes some of their interior parts visible. :-O

Anna’s Hummingbird

Anna's HummingbirdI’ve spotted some different birds around my house recently; nuttall’s woodpecker, northern flicker, black phoebe – all birds that I can typically see a couple of miles away near the river, but not so much up at my house. However, I haven’t managed to get one photo of any of the new visitors, so here’s a photo of a bird I see here every day….again. đŸ™‚
