Butterflies known as Large Wood Nymphs are flying. Larval foods for this species are grasses. Adults sip sap and visit rotting fruits.
The tiny white flower of Round-Leaved Sundews on coiled one-sided racemes stand above the plants sticky carnivorous leaves.
And the paired flowers of the colorfully named Mad-dog Skullcap are open. This is a plant of rich thickets, meadows and swampy woods.
