Yesterday when Rob and I were walking around Eshqua Bog yesterday and found many new leaves already cut by insects and fallen to the ground. Leaves of American Beech (Fagus grandifolia) and Sugar Maple(Acer saccharum), barely unfurled, were already punctuated with holes. Why not?!
The Spring sun brings the energy for plants to grow and, as a result, many insects as well that eat those plants. In turn returning bats and birds, especially warblers and fly catchers, devour the insects. The web again begins to be woven.
A Crane Fly of some sort (family Tipulidae) soaking up the sun on a leaf of False Helbore (Veratrum viride). The larvae of Crane Fly typically eats roots of various sorts.
As I was about to sit down for lunch today, I noticed a small green larvae on the chair. I have no idea who this is!
Still Learning To See 
I love reading your blog, John. Great photos as always. This second one has a cool graphic quality!
Thanks Deb! Yes, the contrast between the two was a delight. Happy Mother’s Day.
