Monday Nature Mystery

We are pleased to announce the winner of last week's Monday Mystery, Bari Greenfield!

Many folks were quick to recognize Wheel Bug, (Arilus cristatus), but Bari was the first to post the correct answer. The wheel bug is indeed a true bug and common in our area. They are a beneficial insect, but beware, they will bite!

Each Monday we’ll post a new photo and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag.

Here is this week’s mystery photo:

Do you know what it is? It was discovered in a pollinator garden in Fairfax County. Post your guess (please list both common name and Latin name) on our Facebook page @AudubonVA ([link removed]) under Monday Nature Mystery.

Good luck!
