I didn’t know wasps did either until I bought a plant for my garden that is primarily pollinated by wasps. They were as chill as any other pollinator, not at all what I expected.

Thanks for the tip, here’s another attempt uploading as you suggested:
This was the first spider like this I’ve noticed in my garden, but it was while I was picking berries in July. I’ll watch the blooms next year. From your other comment I did see a crab spider in my parents garden earlier in the spring, the legs do look similar *Edited with more into

I’ve been meaning to create a blooming calendar for my garden, your method might be the motivation I need
Thanks for the ideas! I didn’t know that about witch hazel, I really like the yellow flowers but have never been close to one. That’s moving sspicebush to the top of the list. Laurels are intriguing - no kids, and the only animals are wild, so should be safe?

My yard is becoming 2023 and my neighbor’s yard is 2022, and he complains about my yard every opportunity he has, but he never complained when it was only grass
After attracting pollinators the last few years, I finally attracted crickets, grasshoppers, and spiders in my little urban sanctuary this year. I considered it a compliment from nature
