Frostweed is starting to flower. Each of its showy yellow blossoms is open for just one day and only in full sunlight.
Whorled Loosestrife - one of 6 yellow loosestrifes that can be found in the area - is just opening a few flowers.
Orange Hawkweed is joining its many yellow relatives in our fields and lawns.
A Leaf-footed bug, one of the acanthocephala, rested on a leaf.
A Goldenrod Spider waited in ambush on a milkweed plant. I have seen these little spiders grasping prey as big as Bumblebees.
And a Calligrapha Beetle fed on a streamside Dogwood.
