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.
