**John Massey was rewarded a few days ago by finding a
few large fruitings of oyster mushrooms on dying aspen in his Dieppe yard, which
promptly hit the dinner table to be appreciated.
John also got a photo of a NORTHERN FLICKER checking the
world from its nest hole by the Sevogle River on Tuesday as well as
a family of raccoons that had their den in a tree cavity.
**Brian Stone caught some interesting insects photos on
Tuesday. A close up of aphids feeding on a rose bush. These insects suck juice
from plants instead of eating foliage and yes, they do apparently develop wings
at some stages.
Brian also got a nice closeup of a lady beetle larvae
that seems to have just shed an outer skin as it grows and also a nice closeup
of a mayfly on its short mating flight period.
