Daddy Long Legs spiders were climbing all over this small clump of spotted beebalm.

The dappled sun was warming after a cool start and prey possibilities including smaller insects may have become active, too.

I have no idea what this one is doing; I wondered if it was laying eggs but all information I’ve found says they lay their eggs in dirt.
