Lotta bug pics recently!
This one was actually somewhat of a humanitarian effort, as I found him buzzing around our garage when I got home one day last week. I think they get attracted in there because we’re experiencing some AC problems again right now, so I’ve got a big cooler collecting the runoff from the AC unit. Unfortunately, I don’t think these guys realize that although there is a big water source in our garage, it also gets ridiculously hot in there during the day and they’re likely to fry if they happen to get stuck inside.
I had a similar run-in last week with a small toad that I found hiding underneath Sara’s car as well, but then again, the tag here isn’t creepy toads, now is it?!
Granted, I suppose dragonflies aren’t exactly very “creepy,” either – this one was pretty cool, albeit it was somewhat injured by the time I found him. Whether he flew away to start a new life or instantly got eaten by his predators the moment I closed the garage door – I guess we’ll never know!
