The sticky-to-the-touch alien escape Sweet William Catchfly is in flower.
As is the tiny yellow Buttercup relative Creeping Spearwort which has narrow spear like leaves not shown in this picture.
Ans Sumac Flea Beetles, so called because sumac is their larval host and because they have the very un-beetle-like habit of jumping when threatened, are having their day. The larvae of this species coat themselves in their own feces which, due to their all sumac diet, is toxic to predators. And, I might add, not a very attractive choice of wardrobe.
