I do, been living out in the outskirts of Flint Michigan my whole life, and as a kid, I spent 85% of my time, in our field, with all the creepy crawlies, or anything I could catch.
As years go by, I notice trends in species.
I remember there was a single year. Just one year.. when praying mantis were the "top dog" , the field. Then there were a few years when I would be able to easily find walking sticks.
Then I recollect seeing one of those lobster hummingbird things... (which STILL scare the . Out of me!).
And, then, a year with shamrock spiders.
Another year with EXCLUSIVELY garden spiders, which my brothers and I, used to call skull spiders with the resembling markings kn it's back.
No more rambling, I promise!
Maybe not...
As I prepare for my second year in rearing monarchs from egg and caterpillars, I am noticing the dominant "chosen" one this year.. which is....
It, will be a challenge for them this year, bad roll I suppose..
BUT GETTING TO THE POINT.
Does anyone else ever chime in on these waves by year?
And what was it, or they?
Thank you.
