Your July photo subjects included summer butterflies and moths, forest flowers, and everyone’s favorite: insect egg slime (Leocarpus fragilis), which is actually the fruiting form of a slime mold. In Wilmington, Vermont, Diana Dube made two lucky early morning moth finds. Sarah Hale crossed paths with a high-speed porcupine on New York’s Thomson Island, and Ross Lanius observed a distinctly disgruntled looking black-crowned night-heron that was drying out its wings at the top of a tree in Milford, Connecticut. Check out Frank Kaczmarek’s image of pit traps in sand, then see this recent article in the Outside Story series, which describes the insects that make them.
