We counted 24 Pyrrharctia isabella (Banded woolly bear caterpillar) of these caterpillars this afternoon walking along the Elwha River road. This one had a very small midsection, different from most. I recently counted 180 of these caterpillars on a 12-mile bike ride.

Sympetrum pallipesObservador
wendy5Descrição
This was the only Dragonfly species that would land for a photo, I think it's the Sympetrum pallipes (Striped Meadowhawk). There were dozens of larger blue dragonflies flying through the air, but never landing. These photos may be from two individuals.

This Bumblebee with fuzzy legs and an orange band on its abdomen sometimes walked from one Yarrow to another, rather than always flying. My guess is Yellow-fronted Bumblebee?
