Another macro bug - with a very small depth of field, because it was moving around too much for me to close the aperture more (which would mean I'd need a slower shutter speed, creating motion blur).
This is a beetle in the genus Ellychnia, which is actually a kind of firefly - but since they're diurnal instead of nocturnal, they don't glow like other fireflies. I think they still look pretty unique though!

Flat backed millipede and springtail in Stanley Park!
Catching the millipede while it was sitting still was probably the most difficult part of this - it kept running around and making my photos blurry.

Wore my grippy water shoes up on the roof to blow off leaves and clear the drain channels.
Satisfying to see the filter holes on the gutter covers re-emerge. And to return to the ground not as a ladder-accident statistic.
Ready for more #rain

Meanwhile, the female #mantis I discovered last night is still hanging out by the garage door.
Just an awesome pic of a pill bug I was able to capture last night!
