Last Hold Out

[Loupey]

Despite low temperatures right around the freezing mark the last several nights, I looked really really hard today for any signs of life.

Saw two frogs (which immediately jumped into the icy cold water - being cold blooded they probably don't feel it, things ...just.....start..........to...............slow.. ......................down ), one grasshopper, one little flying thing, and two of these.

Both he and his twin brother (a few leaves away) were completely immobile. Still half-frozen and not yet thawed by the gray morning light.

Last of the little critters I suspect until spring
