Cranefly: Tipula sp.?
Beetle on grass: Cantharis sp.?

(Even these rough identifications are an insight into a hidden world!)

I don't *think* I have any rot holes in the three trees on my property (though the cherry is a possibility). NYC iNat obs only start in 2023; likely gone unobserved until then.

Aside from being a new species record for my garden, my observation stands out:
* Earliest. No other May obs. FOY 2025.
* All other obs in green spaces: cemeteries, parks, natural areas.

After a decades-long campaign to beat the parasites down to Panama, they’re speeding back up north.

Monday? More miscellaneous May #macrophotography! Marvellous.

Moth: no idea. There's hundreds of 'em!
Metallic fly: Probably a blow-fly, maybe Lucilia sp.?
Snooty fly: Perhaps Rhagio scolopaceus?
Bee: Mining or mason bee, potentially Andrena sp.? (Don't tell the poor thing about the Cuckoo wasps, anyhow...)
