October 10 was the fall bioblitz at Oliver Nature Park, and I even had the chance to go out and get some observations! :)

It was a blast -- 66 folks (children and adults) showed up, and I think everyone had a good time. Yippee, nature! :)

Found this wasp out this morning checking out mist flower in the misty rain. I think it might be an ichneumon type. It was small about 1.5 cm.

have more pictures if need a certain feature but was hard to get as it crawled around and under the plants.
