On the way to the mailbox, I re-found the brown pupa from yesterday. So today, I collected it. Hopefully we will find out what it is!
A young Banana Spider or Garden Spider (Argiope aurantia) outside our backdoor!
A Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus) paused just long enough for get this shot on the Western Horse Nettle. The nightshade is not a host plant so maybe just a resting spot, eh.
Likewise, not a host plant for this Sachem (Atalopedes campestris). Just stopped for a sip! The larvae feeds on various species of grasses.
The Clouded Crimson (Schinia gaurae), however, might have been on this Lizardtail (Gaura mollis) for business! This species’ larvae can be found on several species of Gaura.
Kathy, I stopped at the Wild Plums just for you!
I washed my slobber off. And they can dry now. And yes, they were tasty as yesterday’s plum!
The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

Pretty moth looks like it has feathers on upper body. Garden spiders are special. One of my favorites. After jumping spiders. Wonder what the pupa will be? Keep us posted.

Schinias are my favorite moth!
