5-23 Red Baneberry, Lesser Stitchwort, American Bladdernut, Canadian Swallowtails, 6-spotted Tiger Beetle

5-23 Short racemes with numerous long white stamens mark Red Baneberry.

Lesser Stitchwort is a delicate plant of fields and meadows.

American Bladdernut's drooping racemes of white flowers will eventually produce this shrub's inflated pods or 'bladdernuts.'

Canadian Swallowtails are among the many butterfly species that are on the wing.

Fiercely predacious 6-spotted Tiger Beetles can be seen on foot paths and hiking trails. John
