A whirligig beetle (thanks Christine of "Let's Paint Nature"!)
Trumpet vine & bumblebee.
Apologies for the poor quality of this image of a prothonotary warbler, but it was the best I could do. This was our first sighting of this bird at the Flatwoods.
Male common whitetail dragonfly.
The yellow pitcher plants are in bloom.

Loved seeing all the pitcher plant blooms.
Stuff is really starting to wake up!
All great, but the top of water was mesmerizing!

I'm always astounded at the variety in your area. I'd be out wandering, all the time!
Ah, the alien world of insects. Cool perpspective.
As for water bugs, I've known some people skimming along the surface like that!
Charles; Yes, but they're still not as handsome as you.
Travis; FINALLY! :)
Cloudia; Thank you.
Lynda; That's usually what I'm up to, when the weather's not brutal & I'm not ill. Hoping to go for another swamp tour this weekend, actually. ;)
Erik; I'm glad for bugguide.net, where I can often get an ID for all of these funky critters!
Is that a whirligig beetle? Was it gliding and spinning in circles?
I think it might have been, actually. It certainly looks more like what I have here than the only other option I'd found. Thanks for the help!
