One of the Willow Herbs is in flower.
Clammy Hedge-Hyssop's not very showy flowers are also opening.
A single white flowering Self-heal stood out amid the more ordinary purple and violet specimens in a roadside population.
A moth called the Beautiful Wood Nymph was flying last night.
And Camouflaged Loopers, the larvae of Wavy-lined Emerald Moths, are feeding. These caterpillars cut pieces of the flower they are feeding on and affix them on their backs as camouflage. In this case the flowers show considerable damage and the caterpillar's camouflage is a bit faded.
