Black-eyed susans frequently have little white spiders living on them. Not til yesterday did I finally see one on our big girl.
hello!
This afternoon, the spider had a visitor.
At first I thought this Other Thing was caught in a tiny web, but I could see its tiny proboscis extended, testing out the flowers.
I wonder if the spider is holding out its legs to mimic its visitor’s body language. “Don’t mind me” it hums, under its breath, waiting for the perfect moment to take a bite. The nice folks at bugguide.net will probably sort me out in no time.
This bug-free susan offers excellent squinty-eyed close-ups.
ahhhhh…clearly I’m obsessed.
Nearby, on a common evening primrose, I noticed these pink moths.
What the…? No idea what they’re doing. I think they’re napping.
One of them was still buried in there today. The other one was on leaf nearby.
Some ant on milkweed action.
Forget-me-nots going to seed.
The obligatory hawkweed!
