Really loved watching all the creatures with you! It's my favorite part of the garden. I'm super supportive of an egg, caterpillar, larva hunting video. I have no idea what a live fire fly larva looks like and I bet you have them! I know we have fire flies because we see them in the summer, but I've never seen the bugs during day (probably just don't know what to look for) or the larva.
@@limitlessends During the day, you may find adult fire flies resting on your trees, shrubs, or grasses. As for the larva, I saw it in winter or early spring in my garage. I might have a photo somewhere. If so, I’ll try to remember to put it in a future video.😊
We saw some really beautiful flowers at the Cincinnati zoo in Ohio yesterday. We rescued a non bee that was laying on pavement. It was just laying on its back struggling to fly. Not sure if we made it worse but figure they were safer in the shade of a flower bed than the pavement. The passion flower vines were super pretty!
Im guessing the abundance of fireflies is due all the rain we had last season. Im seeing tons this year in massachusetts. Firefly larvae feed on slugs and snails so i would imagine they did well last summer. Enjoy the growing season!
Do you have "jeana" garden phlox? It's supposed to be exceptional for attracting tiger swallowtails. Mt Cuba did some research and it was by far the best phlox for butterflies.
@@LaconicMind I forget the name of mine, but I don’t have enough, I know that for sure. Buying more phlox is definitely a great idea to attract more of them.❤️
Hi. I sent you a comment yesterday from my own YT channel, but it occurred to me that sending it from here was more likely to get your attention. I did a movie a couple of months ago about how butterflies find food, and you kindly corrected the ID I had down as a Pipevine Swallowtail. I asked if you'd be interested in previewing a movie about how butterflies fly, and you said you'd be happy to. A rough draft of that movie is up as a private video now in my YT queue. Would you care to take a look at it and help me ID a couple of the butterflies?

Thank you! I’ll need to check for them. I look forward to it on future videos ☺️
Love the orange buttlerfly weed! So much great wildlife!
Thank you! 😊
We have had so many fireflies this year. I love it!
Isn't it wonderful? Love them so much. Was seeing them last night when I was planting some more natives. :)
Lovely tour and footage! Congrats on attracting and supporting so many pollinators! Keep up the great work!! 💚
Thank you so much. We are all in this together. Love what you're creating, too. We can help them one yard at a time. :)
@@awildapproach you bet! And thank you! The more native plant gardeners the merrier! 💚🦋🌼🐝💚

awww you did a great thing. I bet it appreciated that. Love the passion flower vines. So worth the vigor they have!!
Nice video! Looks beautiful
Thank you! I appreciate you taking time to leave that kind comment. :)

That makes total sense! I had a huge population of lacewings this past spring, too. It was amazing!!
Also, 2:38, yea that's a Japanese beetle. I've seen them slacking off lately compared to a few years ago so hopefully they will naturalize overtime.
