The leaves are close to their peak color now. However before the bit of warm weather, we had several rainy and windy days. Unfortunately, that brought down a lot of leaves, so the views aren't quite as spectacular as they might have been. But they are pretty all the same.
Here's what I saw this week
during a Second Look.
 |
| Cucumber beetle. Unlike its ladybug look alike, this beetle can do a lot of damage to beneficial plants. |
 |
| Ward saw these mating wheel bugs. He didn't stick around long enough to see if the female ate the male as she often does after mating. |
 |
| I found two kinds of honeysuckle berries. |
 |
| Nettle |
 |
| This maple tree has lost enough leaves that we can see the squirrel's nest in the top. |
