Last night a Hickory Tussock moth was flying. Larval foods for this species include the leaves of hickories and those of many other deciduous trees.
The five deeply cleft petals of Stitchwort's tiny white flowers dust the roadsides.
Bittersweet Nightshade - a tomato relative - drapes over thickets and weedpatches. Its five swept-back petals can be either deep violet or white.
And the delicate - less than half inch wide - flowers of Chokeberry crown damp thickets and shorelines.
