August 16 - Lock 4 Park

Grape Leaf Skeletonizer Moths mating
Starting Weather: Sunny, 70°
Ending Weather: Mostly Sunny, 75°
Distance Covered:  1.73 miles
Time: 8:28 AM - 10:49 AM

Kay was working this afternoon, so in the morning, while John slept, we drove down to Lock 4 Park.  It was a lovely morning, plenty of butterflies and other insects.  I took a photo of two bugs mating, and was able to identify them as Grape leaf Skeletonizer beetles.  Sounds pretty scary, right?  We saw something we hadn't seen here before: a group of canoe-paddlers in the canal.   It made us think about maybe trying t get a canoe and riding up and down the canal.  We'll have to look into that!
