Bull Thistles are in flower.
A Hickory Tussock moth caterpillar posed for a picture. Hickory, Pecan and Walnut are favored food plants but American Hornbeam, Ash, Oak and Willow are also acceptable.
And Dog-day Harvest Flies (Cicadas) are emerging. This nymphal husk was hanging on a Black Locust tree, but nymphs usually feed on sap from the roots of evergreens.
