Oftentimes nature isn't pretty, it's brutal. I thought it was just a fuzzy beetle. It wasn't until I got down to the ground that I realized it was a beetle being swarmed by mites.

The sheer number of tadpoles in this pond is mind-blowing. It'll be fun to go back and watch as they grow up. Maybe this spider will catch a few of them, too
