This is the last of four posts about my adventure in the ditch in front of Safeway last Sunday morning. I was enthralled with the large variety of plant and animal life there, not apparent at first glance. I was also impressed by various signs of human impact.
I call this one Stretch. A Thread-waisted Wasp climbing on a leaf of a young maple.
I followed this wasp's wanderings for several minutes. Wish I had a video camera.

A Skipper, close relative of Butterflies and Moths.
Who pays for returning this to the store? All of us. I'll bet this person doesn't love ditches either.
Why not?
