Franca and I walked into the park for the first time in a while. Covid really takes it out of you. It was a bit too hot to do it but we didn’t stay long. There was quite a bit of movement around the lake. These guys are all little animals I’ve seen and recorded before. Nevertheless… here they are. I’ll get that bee. Just need a little time. I only show the identification of the first occurrence of specimens with multiple images.
