Last night this big moth called the Blinded Sphinx was flying. Larval host plants for this species include Basswood, Birch and Poplar.
Canada Lily is starting to flower. The flowers of this species vary from yellow to red. Canada Lily favors wet meadows and ditches.
And the brightly iridescent Dogbane Leaf Beetle brightens patches of both Dogbane and its near relative Indian Hemp.
