Summertime Nature in New Jersey: Sourland Mountain Preserve.
I went for a walk at the Sourland Mountain Preserve in New Jersey looking for butterflies. Instead, I was buzzed with a multitude of Robber Flies. There weren’t that many just a day ago so wonder if they just hatched I would not like to be bitten by one of these guys.
