We are very excited about a new season of bug collecting. The kids are even bringing up ideas and where we should go and look for bugs this year. While the Polar Vortex has been been haunting Chicagoland, with 40 degree weather on May 1st, we are already finding some of our tiny world friends.
We had a patch of warm weather with 60-70 degree temperature in April. I was looking at our front garden flowers and heard this bumble bee buzzing around. Insects are around us year round, just hibernating the through the cold months.
These photos were taken with my Iphone 5. It gets the job done. This bumble bee was captured in three shots, happily finding nectar, hovering on the flowers edge and then I caught him just before he flew away. and he inspired me to write about where bugs can be found this early in the season. ESPECAILLY considering the insanely colder then normal tempaeratures around here.
We have started collecting this year already, and here's where we found our specimens.
