[Leica] IMG: Observed Around the Neighborhood

[Jim Nichols]

My neighbor, Shirley, grows Coreopsis flowers each year, and I always 
check them out for visiting insects.  This small bee or wasp was 
competing with much larger Carpenter bees.

My Manhattan border hedge has just been trimmed, but a few of the tiny 
blooms remain.  This colorful Trichopoda Fly was checking them out.
