Last night a Locust Underwing moth was flying. This one reluctantly flashed just a hint of its orange-and-black-banded hindwings. The larval food plant for this species is - as you might have guessed - locusts.
Today along a power line right-of-way Yellow Rattle's odd yellow flowers and inflated calyx sacs form sunny one-sided spikes.
In damp well shaded woods Greenish-flowered Pyrola is in flower; one of six Pyrolas that can be found in this area.
And, mixed in among tufts of sphagnum moss, Partridgesberries' flowers are open. The paired flowers of this species are joined at the base.
