Spring: Thursday's Tiny Treasures

Doesn’t it seem too early for butterflies? But we saw some! As well as boxelder beetles clustered on the sun-warmed siding of our house, a bunch of frenzied red ants in a sand pile, and a variety of insects under upturned rocks. I mustn’t neglect to include the oh-so-charming Japanese beetles invading our window spaces and the woodtick Kevin found crawling up his arm last night.
