Temperature made it to 100 degrees today. That doesn't happen often in South Jersey.

Thanks to Pat Sutton for teaching me about this super cool fly!

Found on sidewalk edge so let it crawl up on leaf and moved it to thick area of leaves of Passion fruit vine.

Found two of these tiny young frogs around the gardens today.
