Further to my recent post about frogspawn, I'm happy to report that it has all hatched out. Hundreds of juvenile tadpoles have wriggled free of the 'jelly' and can now be seen feeding on it. They have been joined by a pond snail which is also tucking into this nutritious substance. The red caterpillar-like things are catkins from the silver birch and poplar trees that overlook the pond.

Hundreds of tiny tadpoles can be seen at the surface of the pond. Due to natural predation only a small proportion of them will emerge weeks later as froglets.

What a beautiful bug! Check out those striped legs!

✅ First time this species has been seen in my garden. It's common in North America, though.

😬 Looks like it flew out of a Beetlejuice movie. I would have named it the stripy-leg bug, but someone named it Orange Assassin Bug. (Just because it has a fang to repeatedly stab other insects.)

🌻I have probably increased the total amount of insects through my #gardening with native plants so that these predators will be more common.

An insect with black and white striped antennae, black and orange horizontally-striped legs, and a bright orange body, except on the outer edges of the abdomen which are black and orange-striped. Translucent wings overlap along the center of the back (abdomen). The insect is on an opaque surface.

🦋 A Tiger Swallowtail has recently emerged at a time when there are few preferred #wildflowers for it to feed on. Luckily, a #NativePlants gardener planted Carolina Jessamine years ago and it already has cascades of yellow flowers.

🌻 So the gardener gets to enjoy the flowers and the #butterfly.

The neighbors, however, must treat traditional lawns with chemicals to kill weeds.
