There's a whole community in your backyard that you've probably never noticed. Much like the friend who never really knows when to leave, these creatures have been making themselves at home in your grass, flowers, vegetables and weeds for most of the summer. But before you shoo these guests away, get to know them a little better. Grab a magnifying glass or, in this case, a camera, and take a closer look. Do a little research and find out what makes them tick. A little knowledge, patience and a new perspective may make their stay a little more palatable. Because like that friend, they're not going anywhere.
