Wild Cucumber is draping roadside weed patches and thickets. The closely related Bur Cucumber is also in flower.
Common Tansy, a garden escape, can also be seen in weedy fields and roadside ditches.
And a male Polyphemus moth chose a roadside goldenrod as its daytime perch. Males have feathery bipectinate antennae with which they sense female pheromones.
