I found this in my garden this past weekend. As best I can riddle it out, this is a fly that was infected with a fungus. Something like this: [en.m.wikipedia.org]
The fungus causes the fly to crawl up to the end of whatever it's on, then spread its wings and die. Creepy fungal mind-control. Cool, no?

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
