Cowwheat is in flower. This flower of dry woods is a member of the Figwort family.
Wild Lettuce is also in flower.
Last night Pink-barred Pseudeustrotia moths were airborne. Larval hosts for this species are dock, smartweed and goldenrod.
And a Gypsy Moth caterpillar was out and about. Oak and other deciduous trees and shrubs are food for this introduced pest. Adult female gypsy moths are white and nearly flightless. Males are brown and capable fliers.
