3. Cactus Bloom (Floral Friday Fotos)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 25, 2019

The Night Blooming Cactus, Epiphyllum, is a sprawling plant, but it makes up for its untidy habits by producing large blooms that open at night. My husband lit it up with a flashlight last night so I could get a good photo. The blooms are pollinated by night-flying insects, and they close up at dawn.

4. Long-legged Fly (Saturday's Critters)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 9, 2019

Yes, I know that flies are pests, but when you see them up close, some of them are beautiful! And actually, the Long-legged Fly is beneficial to the garden because it eats smaller insects such as aphids, gnats, beetle larva, and smaller flies.

5. Eastern Kingbird (I'd Rather B Birdin')

Stantonville, Tennessee, USA, July 24, 2019

Eastern Kingbirds, Tyrannus tyrannus, are migratory birds we see here in North America in the Spring and Summer. They spend the Winter in South America.

Have a wonderful day!
