Although tiny, my backyard is an ecosystem designed to support urban wildlife. A small waterfall cascades down a (very short) rose-lined bank. Pollinator plants buzz with bees from the neighbor’s hives. Opossum, skunks, chipmunks, squirrels and the occasional coyote amble through. The bugs are more inclined to pose.
Never underestimate the ability of one ambitious orb web spider to decimate the neighborhood mosquito population
