Wood Betony has opened its whorls of tubular, hooded flowers. Wood Betony flowers can be red, yellow or both.
Red Baneberry's oblong clusters of white flowers lit up a bit of rich woods. Red baneberry bears bright red berries. The closely related White Baneberry bears white berries each with a black eye - thus their common name Doll's Eye.
And this nicely marked brown moth, the One-lined Zale was active last night. The larval host plant of this species is Black Locust.
