My first ever Carolina Wren on my property, kind of elusive but managed to get this one semi-decent image. Also redpolls and a mourning dove, and some cowbirds from yesterday.…Continue

We were at Killarney Lake Lodge near Fredericton this evening when we saw this young Parula Warbler fly in to a window. It took a few minutes to recover, but we did manage to get this one goo…Continue

My daughter was at a piano class in Fredericton, so I roamed about the property with my macro lens, but I did not bring my telephoto. Still, not a bad shot considering this was a macro lens and the…Continue

Chris Adam replied to Ken MacIntosh's discussion My nomination for official beetle of NB in the group Beetles N' Bugs 4 Birders"Or maybe it's just that more New Brunswickers submit images to BG than from anywhere else: a concentration of bug people who use BG rather than the distribution of the beetle itself."
Chris Adam replied to Leonel Richard's discussion Fork-tailed Flycatcher at Miramichi Marsh"Wow! Great find. Seems I saw one along the Fundy Coast many years ago, maybe in the 90's, somewhere near New Horton? That was a first for me."
Chris Adam replied to Stuart Tingley's discussion A rather plain, black Syrphid - Blera nigra - new species for BugGuide! in the group Beetles N' Bugs 4 Birders"Great Stu! Obviously you should stick to flies and stay away from beetles. ;-)"
Chris Adam replied to Stuart Tingley's discussion Possible new ground beetle (family CARABIDAE) for New Brunswick - Olisthopus parmatus (UPDATE: Not new for NB) in the group Beetles N' Bugs 4 Birders"You'll have to start somewhere, Stu, so I will suggest the Pelecinidae. That should keep you busy, then you can expand from there. We will offer you more suggestions once you have mastered this difficult family."

"I reported this species from NB in my paper on Carabidae of NB in the J. of the Acadian Ent. Soc. It is widespread in the province, but never common. Usual habitat is vernal pond margins."Keep on observing, especially…"
Chris Adam replied to Stuart Tingley's discussion Completely lost on this one! (ID'd as a March Fly - family BIBIONIDAE - Bibio sp.) in the group Beetles N' Bugs 4 Birders"Yes, Stu, a female March Fly. They're fairly common now. Note that the males are considerably different, as can be seen HERE."
Chris Adam replied to Ken MacIntosh's discussion Moth in the leaf litter in the group Moths of New Brunswick"This could be one of the Olethreutine Tortricids. One moth in Peterson's p. 119 comes close."
Jeff Clements replied to Chris Adam's discussion Freshwater snail in the group Marine Fauna for Birders"Tough to tell from the photo, but it looks to me like Galba trunculata. This species is distributed worldwide and is the main vector for fascioliasis (Fasciola hepatica) in South America and Europe."
Chris Adam replied to Tony Thomas's discussion Beaverpond Baskettail - May 15 2013 in the group Dragonflying for Birders"I saw several odes today, all newly emerged: 2-3 Beverpond Baskettails and several Whitefaces, all along one road. (I want to call them Beavertail Basketponds, and I kept thinking Hudsonian Godwit!)"

Gypsy Moth larva?
Some caterpillar larvae have very long hairs, including this one. I've eliminated the Virginian Tiger Moth and the Fall Webworm, so I'm guessing this is a first instar Gypsy Moth, Lymantria dispar. Other possibilities are welcome. Size is about 4 mm. 14 May 2013, Fredericton.See More

Denis A. Doucet replied to Chris Adam's discussion Teneral Damsel, May 14 in the group Dragonflying for Birders"It's a female, but by its aspect and known emergence patterns, it is likely a Boreal Bluet (Enallagma boreale)."

- Hi Chris,
I applaud your suggestion for a group on moths! Would you like to add the group? I will certainly join, but I do not feel "up" to the level of being able to moderate it, although I can (and will) help with the technical (web-based) stuff.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for joining the dragonfly group! Although this site was originally called Birding New Brunswick, we definitely enjoy discussing all nature related topics that touch on nature in the Maritimes. If there is anything with regards to the function of the site in general you have questions about, there are lots here who are definitely happy to help. Like Bug Guide, we all all a bunch of volunteers trying to make sense of the natural world and still learning lots ourselves, but so far it has been a blast and has worked out very well. Enjoy!
