Please send in your wildlife photos. I know some of you are sitting on good ones!
Today’s photos, half of a larger batch) come from reader Dave (website here), and portray a variety of critters and plants (and one astronomy photo). A few have locations specified, but Dave adds, “Most are from upstate New York, from gardens or indiscriminate hikes. By the time I edit the backlog, though, months pass, and any recollection of when and where dries up.” Captions and IDs are Dave’s, and you can click on the photos to enlarge them.

Beautiful things! Even the backgrounds are nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
