A Few Hours Later

This was one of those situations that tempts me to take up video, and time-lapse in particular.  In the photo of this scene in my previous post, the Ambush Bug is residing on the flower to the right.  It is clear that it is the older flower and is close to wilting.  A few hours later, as I returned to my car, I checked the scene again.  Not only had the flower on the left begun to release its pollen, but the Ambush Bug, apparently recognizing it as more attractive to flying insects, had moved over to occupy it.  It would have been fun to watch the bug negotiate that path and to see the pollen emerging.  For now, all I have to go on is imagination, and that's working pretty well.
