Thanks.<br /><br />Thanks,squirrel. You should have seen that flower head, with a whole bunch of Ambush Bugs. While these two were sucking that bee dry, two others were grabbing a Longhorned Flower Beetle, who was struggling to get away. Lost cause!<br /><br />Keep watching, asita. It's amazing the many massacres taking place right under our eyes.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-53838180566010634792011-07-13T22:35:10.658-04:002011-07-13T22:35:10.658-04:00What a great idea!

I have never seen two together like that, the poor bee didn't have a chance but it was nice to see them sharing.squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297406366801045392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-76397452182123511762011-07-12T12:34:15.437-04:002011-07-12T12:34:15.437-04:00Murders in the forest - an who said hiking was not...Murders in the forest - an who said hiking was not exciting :-)<br /><br />I have a friend who fantasizes abut the conversation in a spider household when one of us hikers breaks through one of the 'alert' strands that spiders spin across the trails. <br />Harry: Shirley, Shirley, I got a big one!<br />Shirley: Yeah?
