Fall Nature Walk

Rough-skinned newt
We went on a fall nature walk with homeschooling friends, and I asked the kids to help find some wonders. Here is what we came up with!
Seven-spotted ladybug.
Black lampyrid beetle.  If it looks like a firefly, that's because it's a cousin.
Lichen is in its lacy glory!  Lichen is fungi and algae (a protist) growing together, and not a plant.
Another rough-skinned newt.

We found two newts today, on the sidewalk within a block of our house. We found one too late but relocated the other off the foot path. Oh the joys of city nature! -Joy
