6-18 White Avens, Yellow Sweet Clover, Straw Foxglove, Golden Tortoise Beetle, Calligrapha Beetle

 6-18

White Avens - a member of the rose family - thrives in open woods and thickets and along roadsides.


Yellow Sweet Clover waves over waste places and roadsides.


And the escape Straw Foxglove sometimes called Yellow Foxglove favors old home sites and river banks.


The aptly named Golden tortoise Beetle and a closely related Calligrapha Beetle - probably one that specializes on willows, were both feeding heartily this morning.
