The aptly named Butter and Eggs is in flower.
A leaf beetle, Blepharida rhois, was hard at work on Sumac leaves. Sumac, Poison sumac and Smoke Tree are listed as host plants for this beetle. Of those only sumac is found locally.
And Common Evening Primrose is brightening riverside thickets, ditches and weedy areas.
