A Locust Borer was feeding on Goldenrod nectar or pollen today. Larvae of this species bore through the wood of living locust trees. The adult is well camouflaged on goldenrod and also looks enough like a bee or wasp to gain some protection.
The range of this species is expanding as more and more locusts are planted as ornamentals.
The dozens of tiny insects surrounding the borer are, as yet, unidentified.
