Few from Aggie Holistic Gardens

[Kenj8246]

Three shots from yesterday afternoon's trip by the holistic gardens. These are of milkweed bugs, Lygaeus turcicus I think

#1 The aphids add another touch of color

#2

#3

Thanks for your time.

Great shots Kenny. Are the small ones the babies of the large one or are these two completely different species?

Completely unrelated as far as I know, James. Thanks.

Pretty common around the gardens, Jim. These were on the butterfly weed.

I really like that last one.

I need to head out there. I usually go to the Horticultural Gardens, but I haven't had much luck there recently.

I thought those gardens had been more or less abandoned, Ben. Isn't that area gonna be used for 'residential expansion' sooner or later?

Therese, it's a little heaven on earth. Oh, it's not as pretty as Mercer, but it's got all sorts of stuff in it and it's mostly tended by students. Needless to say, it attracts a LOT of critters. There's even a little cottontail that follows me around some evenings.

I haven't heard anything about that, but it is entirely possible. It is still well maintained though and I think a few local clubs meet there on occasion.

I'm going to try checking out the Holistic Gardens this weekend, weather permitting.

Frame #1 is neat...almost like the aphids are the babies.

Kenny, these are fantastic. All are sharp/crisp.
