Lightning Bugs Usher in June!

Finally caught my first few moments of watching lightning bugs (or fireflies for non-Southerners) light up the evening. I just learned that they're really a kind of beetle, and they're beneficial to have in the garden.

One thing that isn't beneficial, however, is a groundhog! It appears the one we trapped has sent reinforcements! We spotted one yesterday and ran him off, and then we set the trap again. Looks like the Battle of the Garden is back on!
