I stopped to look around at the edge of a meadow in Powhatan State Park on a hot summer day. The sun was blazing, and most of the wildlife was laying low. That’s when I noticed this little beetle perched on the edge of a leaf. It seemed to be surveying the meadow, just checking things out to see what was going on. I managed to snap this photo just before it flew away.
I’m always surprised by the little things you can find if you just stop and look. Next time you’re out in nature, take a moment to pause and take things in. You’ll probably notice something you would have otherwise walked right past.
