Description
An unusual grouping of characters gathered together on a cattail leaf in the wetland environment of Neabsco Creek. Neabsco Creek is a tributary of the Potomac River and is located in Woodbridge Virginia. A small green tree frog is in the middle of it all as a bee dances on its back and a katydid faces downward on the other side of the leaf. This interesting lining up of critters provided for an unique photo opportunity. This image was captured in mid morning sunlight from a vantage point along a wide boardwalk that runs across the creek and wetland.
