Unimaginatively named Black Blister Beetles can be found on Goldenrods.
Sand Jointweed's tiny white flowers haze sandy barren spots. Sand Jointweed has only a few obscure threadlike leaves and at first glance would not seem alive enough to flower.
And a female Rainbow Scarab beetle works mightily to move a chunk of dog feces which, when buried, will feed her young. Male Rainbow Scarabs have a prominent 'horn' on the top of their head.
