Found this little bastard (aka hornworm) while picking this evening.
Looks like a Manduca sexta (Carolina Sphinx). #Gardening #GardeningMastodon #hotpeppers #bugstodon #bugs

Found a sleepy firefly while checking on my Aji Guyana plants earlier.

Today on #wildlife (and yes, 'urban' wildlife is wildlife too) which share our homes with us, are actually beneficial, but which we are blissfully oblivious about, we meet the painted meal #moth (Pyralis pictalis) - finger-tip for size comparision in pic. no. 2.
These tiny moths (15-34 mm.) complete their entire life-cycle inside of our homes, with their caterpillars feeding on the eggs of #bedbugs - that's right! Free pest control!
(1/2)

Hopeful these images are visible and not too compressed.
We were hanging out by the herbs today and we saw many many different insects, mainly flying ones though some could not.
Edit- the main herb there is Golden Marjoram 😀

Before starting to photograph the insects in my yard I had no idea bees often sleep in flowers. Was a bit worried about them in the beginning. Now I often find these tiniest of wild bees having a lovely nap on my blooming lawn. 😁

Luna Moth on a stump beside the trail in Saint Mary's Wilderness. When we passed it outbound, it was still unfurling wings, just hatched from the chrysalis. By the time we came back an hour later, it was ready to fly.

So this native fringed loosestrife (Lysimachia ciliata) volunteered in our garden a couple of years ago and have really thrived. They are one of the few flowers that provide oil instead of pollen. The native oil bee (Macropis nuda) depends on this flower. Cool!
Today I found a bunch of sawfly larvae on the plants. Not cool! Monostegia abdominalis is an invasive brought from Europe in the 1960s that is totally destructive to native loosestrife. I'll fight them.

Ghostly little flower spider lurking in a red clover.
Almost didn't get this shot, since my esteemed photography assistant - the helpy helper - the doggo - was being very nosy about what I'm doing in the bushes. 🙄 😀

Tomaatinlehdellä oli hauskannäköinen vierailija. Salapoliisityön perusteella arvelisin surukärpäseksi (hemipenthes maura). Jokin kimalaiskärpäsiin (bombyliidae) kuuluva varmaan nyt ainakin.
