Had the great fortune today of witnessing the emergence of a beefly (Hemipenthes morioides) from its pupa in the sandy hillside. It all happened very quickly, and within a few minutes it looked like a mature adult!

Ant Farm! It's spring in the Yukon and I was removing some old bricks at the end of the garden... I knew there were ants nesting in the area but WOW! Look at their big city! Section is 9" high. #Formicidae

The Columbian Snowflies (stoneflies) were exiting the Yukon River in downtown Whitehorse yesterday, and the birds were there to meet them. American Pipits (pictured here), Savannah Sparrows, and even Short-billed Gulls were scurrying around, picking them up! #Plecoptera #Utacapnia #insects #birds
