Well, here it is Memorial Day weekend! May is almost gone!!
We have been spared any patriotic pictures...so far, BOL! Who knows, if petcretary will get out the big bad of things Americana. Or maybe she'll resort to flashbacks, which we say, go for it!!
Anyways,we were in the yard snoopervising *her* doings, and she snapped out her phone and 'caught' us!
 |
| The light looks so odd, we were in a sunshine/shade mixture...under a tree. |
 |
| Then the clouds took away the harshness and Benji even looked at petcretary...of course I, Dalton, never am too sure about those things she holds up, be it her phone, the iPad, or a real camera...by the way, why did you cut off my paws, petcretary?? |
Well, now here are our guests who took 'selfies', too...
 |
| This was a very tiny Green Tree Frog, trying to hide in some tall grass blades...he was a wee bit bashful, so he was not wanting to show us his face... |
 |
| This is a Myrmeleon...aka an Antlion Lacewing. |
 |
Petcretary has never seen one of these before, so she looked it up. They get their name from the larvae which dig pits and then they capture ants or other small insects.
Here is what one site told her: Myrmeleon immaculatus is a species of pit-trapping antlion in the family Myrmeleontidae. It is found in Central America and North America and is a particularly common species in the eastern United States. This species is usually a blue-grey color and the adults are 30mm long.
Check out the eyes !! Yikes! I think this is a female. They are often mistaken for dragonflies.
Kind of a beauty I think! |
That's all folks!!
We hope you have a good Memorial Day, take some time to think about why we have this holiday, then after that you can enjoy fun things like a BBQ! Here we are not going to do anything except relaxing...
Happy Memorial Day weekend...........we're unable to blog but I can comment and I wanted to say hello and hope to see you soon on our blog. Love the photos and we will spend time today remembering all those who have served or are now serving our country.

Love your ussie and mom hasn't seen a green tree frog since she left Louisiana and that was over 50 years ago! What a beautiful memento for Greg♥
ReplyDeleteYou two look extremely handsome. Love the little green tree frog. And yes I would have thought that was a dragonfly or a damsel fly. Our weather here has been so up and down and of course extremely wet. Another one due today before things start to dry up a little bit. Have a wonderful holiday weekend. And we certainly wish there wasn't someone going over the Rainbow Bridge so often.

ReplyDeleteHi hi hi! Ojo here! What great pictures of you! What interesting critters you found! Our person thinks the frog picture is very beautiful, but we (of course) think the pictures of YOU DOGS are the best!
ReplyDeleteAdorable selfies you two, and your guests are cute too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post, so many good selfies/ussies.
ReplyDeleteA blessed and beautiful Memorial Day to you.
ooh da frog prince... make a wish ;O) a good memorial day and a good start into summer
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous selfies-love the smiles. And the critters in the grass. Too cute. Have a safe Memorial Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. Loving the frog and insect :-D
ReplyDeleteLove that frog, LOVE the two of you even more.. we heard frogs this morning for the first time in a year, the drought has them where ever they go waiting for rain, we had a few sprinkles and they sang. Ours look a lot like this but longer and shaped a little different. your selfies are perfect to me. I have never seen a lacewing
ReplyDeleteWell hello dear friends and guests. I don't think I have ever seen a tree frog. For a reptile he is kinda cute
ReplyDeletehugs to you two and petcretary
Cecilia
Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteYou both look so handsome in your ussie.
That tiny green tree frog is such a sweet surprise, and I’d have thought the lacewing was a dragonfly too.
Nature always brings the most interesting guests. 🌿
