| Big bee, little fly. Gumweed, Grindelia sp. |
 |
| And a tiny jumping spider, keeping her eye on the big round eye above. |
 |
| Isn't she cute? |
 |
| Unidentified moth |
I've spent hours trying to find this moth. It looks so familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before. It looks sort of like a hawk moth.
*UPDATE: It's a woodland skipper, a butterfly. Thanks, Sara!
And not on the gumweed; on the path nearby:
 |
| Grasshopper, watching me closely. One step more, and he was gone. |

En la pradera de Oyster Bay, me detuve a mirar las flores de Grindelia (hierba goma) y los animalitos que las frecuentan.
Una abeja, y una mosca. Una araña saltarín (¡Tan curiosa; daba vueltas para siempre estar mirando ese ojo grande!) y una mariposa nocturna que no pude identificar. Muy activa; botaba de flor en flor y por fin la perdí.
Y un saltamontes en el camino entre las flores.
