Looking at first glance like a spider, this Long-horned Beetle ( Graphisurus fasciatus) came to my lights last night. Larval hosts for these beetles are a variety of hardwoods.
Cow-wheat has opened its pale little flowers on Black Mountain's granite wastes. A parasite, this species can grow in very poor soils.
And Round-leaved Sundews are opening their first flowers. The flowers on one sided spikes can be white or pink and open one at a time. Sundews are carnivores and can survive in nutrient poor acid soils.
