7-13 Spotted Wintergreen, Orange Grass, Great Golden Digger Wasp

 7-13

Stripe, AKA Spotted, Wintergreen - rare statewide - is a component of dry woods.



Orange Grass, AKA Pineweed, is a tiny member of the St. Johnswort family found on barren or thinly vegetated soils.


Great Golden Digger Wasps hunt Camel Crickets and Long Horned Grasshoppers. The anesthetized prey is food for the wasp's larvae.
