The bold black and yellow patterns on this Locust Tree Borer help it mimic a dangerous bee or wasp. But the bold yellow W marks it as a harmless beetle. The grubs of this beetle chew tunnels through locust trees.
And Red Bartsia, an odd little alien plant of sandy places, is in flower down among the grasses and weeds.
