After a couple of inches of rain overnight (50.8mm to all you metric types) the yard was a bit soggy and humid with lots of bitey mossies in the shady areas which is pretty much the whole yard really. After a quick going over with anti bug spray I ventured out with camera and a 150mm Macro lens and first checked out the herbs growing in big pots on the deck. I found several Black Swallowtail caterpillars but no Monarch caterpillars as yet. Further down the yard the Mayapples had nice big 'apples' but I wasn't going to get low enough to get a shot as it was way too wet. Further down I came across various and assorted other bugs that I'll go look up.
