Creepy Crawlies

Spring just arrived here, expected to end Tuesday. Ha! New England joke. Not very good. That said, up and down, wettest March, warmest April 8th ever, late frost in May that did for some of the seedlings in the garden. Snakes, frogs, and fireflies are about.

Bugs around - including this Whitespotted pine sawyer - the most common beetle to be confused with the Asian longhorned beetle which is decimating nearby towns. Also, this spider which I think is a Nursery web spider of some sort.
