Teeny, Tiny Critters

teeniest ladybird beetles ever?

Interesting. We stumbled across the tiniest frogs ever a few weeks ago while checking on some letterboxes near the wetlands of DuPont. While hunting letterboxes about 15 miles North of there we come across these tiny little ladybird beetles. They were brown, black and grey spotted things and smaller than a pinhead! Incredible!

Today was definitely a 'wildlife' day. We first noticed the beetles, then a Pileated Woodpecker along the trail. Then we saw seals doing somersaults in the Sound. Then a freight train passed by and scared a great blue heron out of tree not too far from us. Not bad for about an hour long outing on the trail!
