Pinecone Middens, Insects: Week 8 in Healy

The melting snow has revealed several pinecone middens assembled by the resident red squirrel.

Also insects are coming out. I find it strange but joyous to see butterflies when there is still so much snow around.

Not nearly as happy to see other insects!
