      This handsome person was on a willow support in a pea garden bed. At first I thought it was a much more common Tachinid fly, but this is new to me: Mesembrina decipiens (I think, I&amp;#39;ll see if I get any input on iNat), which is in the housefly family -though not a housefly, and clearly a bee mimic. I&amp;#39;m not sure what the adult feeds on (just saw the one, and it wasn&amp;#39;t feeding) but it seems larvae likely develop in dung.&lt;br/&gt;#flies #insects #FlyDay #BorealForest #garden #nature&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/117/097/647/262/531/025/original/26a13a0108d963ff.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/117/097/647/264/433/644/original/d1a67d1966cefb21.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/117/097/647/271/149/126/original/c8b434ce659424ff.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/117/097/647/271/240/194/original/818dfc55bc921453.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      1 Extra excitement Saturday at work- beyond usual insane workload (triple in summer)- we had Wild weather including tornado within spitting distance (we could see it out the back door). It had been a hot humid day, severe thunderstorm watch, later tornado watch added- then actual warning as one formed nearby. Before that I saw the storm clouds coming &#43; said &amp;#39;I&amp;#39;m going out to do garbage &amp;#39;now&amp;#39; before that arrives&amp;#39; lol&lt;br/&gt;#storm #Alberta #Canada&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/954/812/949/797/891/original/209a01daa2af76fc.jpg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/954/812/998/906/071/original/fae8cd9a7a37d433.jpg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      The Black Raspberry (Rubus occidentalis from garden hybrid seed) is in flower! It&amp;#39;s one of the highlights of the season: not for the so so flowers, for the vast number/variety of #pollinators &#43; predators drawn to it!&lt;br/&gt;This is one of the highlights something I think I saw once before ever: a Bee-mimic Beetle Trichiotinus assimilis! Not a bee, not  bee/wasp-mimic fly (lots of those) or even moth (some of those too)- a beetle!&lt;br/&gt;#insects #nature #Alberta #Canada #Photography&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/876/749/544/522/644/original/f5fc7d1588a28c98.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/876/750/084/274/249/original/6d5690214746886d.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/876/750/731/268/005/original/f7d6971877fda5bc.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/876/751/140/198/790/original/4afdd686a895f640.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

This second one seems a bit more robust, and it posed long enough for me to go change to my micro lens.

      1 One of my favourite sightings of the year- I believe it&amp;#39;s Giant Birch #Sawfly Trichiosoma triangulum -I&amp;#39;m just not sure it&amp;#39;s large enough &#43; not clear whether there are any very similar spp a bit smaller..I saw it twice over 6 days, thought maybe it was the same one- same spot, on same plant- but looking at the close shots 2nd looks a bit different/bigger. 4 shots of each, details in alt&lt;br/&gt;#insects #entomology #inverts #biodiversity #nature #Alberta #Canada #garden  #photography&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/835/535/432/007/206/original/d71f7663c40c032b.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/835/537/481/033/246/original/12d8882d7154779d.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/835/539/879/189/039/original/2656c949110a048d.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/835/542/029/051/220/original/f7ff20d3a8142079.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      Hoverfly- there were 2 huddled on a wall yesterday: temps below 10C/50F after a few days in the 20C/68F range &#43; threat of showers. Today dipped a few degrees further &#43; scattered snow flurries &#43; strong winds. Next days near/below freezing daytime with possibility of a little to a lot of snow. Surprised to see these little people out already- only flowers so far are *some* of the aspens &#43; willows.&lt;br/&gt;#insects #InvertBeauty #FlyDay #InsectFriday #spring #weather #Alberta #Canada #photography&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/457/664/152/273/985/original/9ecb0ebded68d602.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      First #snow fell Saturday afternoon -Sunday morning  (contrary to what some folks are saying, it&amp;#39;s not early- *August* would be early, September typical, October late!). A few cm, nothing major, nights -5 to -9C /23 to15F,  staying near/below freezing- so a lot of the snow has stuck around in the countryside at least: melting off the roof in the sunshine now, but largely in place on grass, plants etc.&lt;br/&gt;Yesterday morning inside vs outside&lt;br/&gt;#houseplants #garden #autumn #cactus #Alberta #weather&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/115/369/105/602/908/486/original/9641f02ce6c561cd.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/115/369/119/240/196/828/original/bf9bb707918ae4f6.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      This is a cool mid-size #moth (a couple/several individuals shot over a couple of days) that I saw for a week or so (2?), shot during the day on the wall/screen door of the old trailer, below a night light. They perch mostly wings out, looking very much like an autumn leaf! Possibly Maple Spanworm Moth Ennomos magnaria we don&amp;#39;t really have maple trees here, but they also use other species including Poplar which we have lots of! #insects #nature #Alberta  #Canada #inverts&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/115/203/580/669/847/700/original/41e3a1944f137aed.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/115/203/580/675/947/013/original/1bcaf8a1b6199510.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/115/203/580/752/814/935/original/f16919e751105fda.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/115/203/580/760/437/898/original/8c33bc14e25a7201.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      This is an odd one, and I&amp;#39;m going to cross post in a couple of places in the hopes that someone may see it who knows what it is! I&amp;#39;m assuming some sort of pupa, most likely moth? It looks as though it was hung there in that little wooly sock, but I imagine it is more likely that it was fully enclosed in a wooly cocoon, and either has started to emerge or some critter or weather has  removed part of the cocoon? grass/sedge wetland&lt;br/&gt;#insects #moth #pupa #cocoon #nature #Alberta #Canada&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/114/583/959/163/304/046/original/170a562b5d517a5f.jpg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/114/583/964/608/486/188/original/85584d04fc343f88.jpg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

Beyond that, a few species (mostly hardy ones, but not all) require cold stratification (cold/warm periods as you probably know) or scarification (nicking) to germinate.&lt;br/&gt;I&amp;#39;m sure it&amp;#39;s just an artifact of the photo, but the soil looks dry? I&amp;#39;m sure you had it moist for the 90 days?

I think this is a tiny #bee but I&amp;#39;m not always sure of some of the little bees vs wasps. The little green person may be the nymph of a Lygus sp Tarnished Plant Bug. They are on the same Erigeron philadelphicus Fleabane as the fly in previous post. #twofer #insects #biodiversity #nature #gardening  #Alberta  #TrueBug&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/113/921/217/799/357/583/original/6b118e1529e5d5da.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      It&amp;#39;s been beautiful out for days in various ways- colours, light, weather- as the seasons shift. Today was extra crazy beautiful- with our first  really noticeable #snow of the year (late!), #fog #sun #cloud These shots are just from the car on a morning trip into town  for some errands that are hard to get done on work days; there were tons of beautiful images from the rest of the day at home and in the bush too! #Alberta #winter #TimeOfSpirits #October #GoOutsideForMe  #landscape #photography&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/113/394/467/209/083/713/original/ae15a2d88192906c.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/113/394/467/297/369/976/original/2a6b3ffc6ec0c3c9.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/113/394/467/321/342/729/original/d4c90c1b518702ae.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/113/394/467/370/192/327/original/3d30115665e35f12.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      Sunday- day of the #AutumnEquinox was a bit rainy off and on, so I didn&amp;#39;t do my main seasonal/remembrance altar (that was yesterday instead, posts yet to come!). Instead, I went for a bit of a #SlowWalk and made an impromptu altar with some odds and ends I picked up along the way-added to a bench that had bits of wood I kept aside from last winter&amp;#39;s woodcutting.

I only got 3 shots in 3 seconds, then they were gone!

      1- Haven&amp;#39;t done a #SixOnSaturday for a while (naturally a day late..lol-worked yesterday, off today- could have done SevenOnSunday, but prefer the format of 6 images...lol&lt;br/&gt;It&amp;#39;s late in the season here, we&amp;#39;ve been near frost a few times already &#43; summer has been a bit warmer and drier on average (though not too dry, overall) so, many plants have wrapped up flowering/seeding a bit early. Still, there are things in #flower &lt;br/&gt;details in replies&lt;br/&gt;#florespondence #BloomScrolling #garden #Alberta #autumn&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/113/105/204/662/828/509/original/3706fc85fc01d889.jpg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;
