The dandelions (๐๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐น๐ข๐ค๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง๐ช๐ค๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ) were out en masse at Thompson Park on our last hike, and there were many tiny critters fully enjoying them.
Clockwise, from top left:
1. One of many fields of dandelions
2. Hoverfly (family Syrphidae, species undetermined) on a dandelion
3. Tiny bee (probably a sweat bee, family Halictidae, species undetermined) on a dandelion
4. Two ants (family Formicidae, species undetermined) on a dandelion
