A Japanese beetle is dwarfed by the huge cone of the echinacea.
‘Dragonfly on lily stem Number 5, you’re cleared for take-off.’
I call this one “belly up to the bar.”
Wings so transparent it appears he’s part of the fern.
These little moths were loving the echinacea and I couldn’t stop taking photos of them in the afternoon light.
For whatever reason the dragonflies love the spent lily stems.
The flowers always seem more attractive to the bees and moths once their physical beauty is on the wane. The nectar must be at its sweetest then. Maybe something for us all to remember as we age?
