Today Narrow-leaved Mountain Mint is in flower. This mint favors dry locations.
Marsh Skullcap decorates wetter sites.
And on Goldenrods, Ambush bugs were lurking. Ambush bugs sit and wait until insect prey wanders too close and then they clamp their sickle-shaped front legs onto the hapless prey, inject digestive juices and feed on the victims liquified remains.
There are at least 22 Ambush bug species in North America.
