This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Eight-Spotted Skimmer, Libellula Forensis
Day 301: A few days ago, I noticed an Eight-Spotted Skimmer perched on the tip of a stake in my garden. "Time to take a trip to Mineral," I said to myself. The public fishing area at Mineral Lake is one of the best spots around for observing this species, so rather than trying to chase down the specimen flitting nervously about my yard, I grasped the easier solution: I drove up to the lake where I found a dozen or so in the shrubbery at the water's edge. It's always nice when things go according to plan!
