Whorled Milkwort, a state listed rare species, is in flower. This is a plant of wet meadows.
And a moth called a Sooty-winged Chalcoela was on the wing last night. These moths invade paper wasp nests at night and consume wasp larvae and pupae. They then deposit their own larvae in the wasp brood cells. The wasps make no attempt to rid their nest of the parasitic moths.
