A rather foolish, young Cottontail let me approach to within 8 - 10 feet before it hopped off into a cornfield.
One Monarch Butterfly nectared on Joe Pye Weed and another laid eggs on Black Swallowwort. Swallowwort is closely related to Milkweed but Monarch caterpillars probably can't survive while eating it. Therefore Black Swallowwort is a bit of a black hole for Monarchs.
