Around Sebago
















A caterpillar with stripes similar to those of a snake I saw on the dock yesterday. In case you wondered, that's not my tongue it's found its way to.















A firefly? If so these Northern ones play up the stripes.












A pale green insect trying to get in the house, a slow moving tannin-dyed stream in the woods behind the lake. I suppose the color comes from leaves in decay.












No frogs around. One summer years ago there were buckets of them. I miss them. Victims of Chemlawn perhaps? Many yards around here suspiciously large and green.

I saw a Kingfisher fly over the lake.

The beetle looks like a reticulated net-winged beetle, Calopteron reticulatum.
