Your letter to the bugman: Hello again! I hope you are all well. Many insects in this photo, and I only know one, I think, a green lynx spider with prey. This photo is titled Macabre Magnolia in my photo collection. I reached up over my head to get a photo of what I thought was a beautiful blossom for my daughter-in-law, who loves magnolias. The joke was on me when I uploaded the photo. Susprise! Such drama, pathos, and humor. My favorite is the grasshopper munching away on the blossom as the rest of the drama unfolds. Photo taken May 30, 2020, and it makes me laugh every time I come across it. Insect life is… interesting. Happy Halloween!

Macabre Magnolia
Dear Ellen,
How nice to hear from you. Daniel had been very negligent to the WTB? readership beginning about two years ago due to personal matters, but several months ago he committed to posting 90 new queries per month, though that stalled when he took a train across the country to Ohio earlier this month. He plans to catch up this week and be on track once again for October. He was still traveling when you wrote. We love your image and we are featuring your Halloween Greeting on our scrolling banner. The Green Lynx appears to be eating a Metallic Sweat Bee and there are several Honey Bees present on the blossom. We agree the peeking Grasshopper is priceless. Thanks for thinking of us and at least we got this posted before Halloween.
