High volume seed production on some of our native trees, like this White Ash in Hubbardston, is very noticeable this year. It is an excellent mast year, with acorns and apples weighing down local trees. Populations of rodents and their predators will soar.

Relying on its excellent camouflage, this Ambush Bug (subfamily Phymatinae) waits motionless for prey such as bumblebees and other late-season pollinators. These insects routinely capture prey ten or more times their own size

Total lunar eclipse 27 September. According to earthsky.org, This September full moon is also called a Blood Moon, because it presents the fourth and final eclipse of a lunar tetrad: four straight total eclipses of the moon, spaced at six lunar months (full moons) apart. Coincidentally, the moon took on a reddish-orange "bloody" glow during totality.
