Description

Here doing their converging thing as the sun finally comes out on this cool and drizzly day...

Clouds of beetles rise in the center of this dried meadow, with a few green darners zipping through the local airspace. Individual ladybirds follow each other up the stalks of dead grass, taking flight at the tips. Below, here and there, concentrations form.
