Beautyberry critters
So now I continue on with the American Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana). And here are some of the critters we caught lurking on it. Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
False Buckwheat
False Buckwheat was a new plant for me and the grasslands! It could easily be overlooked and Jeanne spotted it. The vine was small but fairly long.

Juvenal’s Duskywing (Erynnis juvenalis)

On the backside
A few days ago, I ran across several critters that were on the backsides of some leaves and a couple today as well. Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
