Critters in the Lamb's Quarter Patch

This will be a collection of the animals that came to visit while the Lamb's Quarters were flourishing...

Caterpillar
There was a caterpillar that I saw several times.

Wren
The good side is that it drew in our wrens. I had never seen a wren even though I grew up in the Wenatchee area, so I was charmed by their appearance with their perky upright tails. They stuck around even though we turned the patch into a grass "meadow." I put up 5 bluebird houses and 2 wren ones that they attempt to claim for themselves every year. When I clean the houses out each spring they are stuffed to the top with tiny sticks. Often there are yellow jackets hibernating inside.
