Here doing their converging thing as the sun finally comes out on this cool and drizzly day... Clouds of beetles rise in the center of this dried meadow, with a few green darners zipping through the local airspace. Individual ladybirds follow each other up the stalks of dead grass, taking flight at the tips. Below, here and there, concentrations form.

What an exciting night... As you can see from the blurriness of all of these pictures, I was so excited to iNat with some fellow naturalists -- I couldn't even hold my camera steady! :) It really was an awesome time. Pretty much all of these have been observed by someone else in the same spot and time, but several of them are new for me... I'll work on the ID's for these organisms later on -- mostly by browsing the others that observed them! :) Yippee!
