Bug Off!

One of the newest additions to the Pollinator Plus Strip is Asclepias tuberosa, also known as Butterfly Weed, a type of milkweed plant. It didn't take long for it to attract pollinators! Bonus - it's a native plant.

This spider was only about the size of a pinky fingernail; don't be fooled.

I am smitten with this adorable little bee.

Drusilla moved in this summer just above my kitchen door. Her web is so massive, it actually encompasses part of the door itself. I try to keep people from using the door so she's not disturbed.

How bad are my eyes? I thought this was a yellow and pink flower until I looked close and noticed the pink was actually the wings of a couple Rosy Maple Moths. Upon further research, these are not Rosy Maples, but in fact are Primrose Moths!
