User's notes

Shield bug versus ant versus spider. The shield bug was sighted with an ant attached to its antenna, until a passing spider took an interest and the shield bug dropped off the tree with the ant attached. The spider is covered by a separate sighting.

Wow! It all seems very quiet at the moment, but good to see so much activity.
