Ward Pond Ridge Fauna

Sherry Felix

As we drove in I noticed a box turtle by the side of the road. We moved it away form the road. I hope it was in the right direction for it.

    You got two for one in that hoverfly photo. The black and white striped critter behind the hoverfly sure does look like a native bee: perhaps one of your cellophane bees.
