Autumn Indoor Nature in New Jersey.

One of my house pets. Scutigera coleoptrata (House Centipede) — Not a Silverfish. I haven’t seen one upstairs for some time now. Just wish they would go after the Stink Bugs that are trying to get into the house right now.

Autumn Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

Daily walkabout with a Fuji X-T2 camera and 100-400 mm OIS lens. It was very hot and a bit windy. The wildflower meadow with Marigold flowers was still filled with Monarch, Painted Lady, and Common Buckeye butterflies. The deer don’t like Marigolds. The temperature is supposed to drop forty degrees and rain tomorrow. We will see how many butterflies are still around then. The Monarch butterflies should be leaving for Mexico pretty soon.
