Today the great, winged seeds of Silver Maple litter the ground.
Black Swallowwort's tiny dark-purple flowers lurk along roadsides. Swallowwort is invasive and has established itself securely here in Dummerston.
Last night impressively large Sphinx moths were flying. Among the larval host plants for this common species are ashes and lilacs. And a moth called the Rose Wing was also out and about … and seemingly having a 'bad hair' day. Larval foods for this species are Gooseberries, Russian Olive and Willows.
