Saw a truly enormous beetle in the garden earlier, sitting casually on the bee-balm. Turns out it's an eyed click-beetle!  (Seriously, the scale in this is totally as big as you think it is--they're thumb sized critters.)

Their larvae are called "wireworms" and fortunately, in this species they live in dead wood and eat destructive bugs, so he's a welcome addition to the yard. Hello, Mr. Eyed Click-Beetle!

Also, my pineapple sage has put out its first bright red flowers. Woot!

ETA: Link fixed, sorry...
