Shining Ladies Tresses and the closely related Tubercled Orchid are flowering along the riverbanks. Both are rare or unusual in Vermont.
A well camouflaged Common Lytrosis moth rested on gravel while a Virgin Tiger moth flashed colorful hindwings in a ploy used to startle predators.
And a tiny blue beetle bejeweled with drops of water rested on a Willow leaf.
