[ Posted Monday 9/3 ]

Seen in garden, afternoon around 2pm:

  • On great blue lobelia: 1 bumble bee (likely American bumble bee/bombus pennsylvanicus) & 2 goldenrod soldier beetles. Beetles mating and moving around the plant while attached. Same insects observed the day before (9/1). Also 1 Silver-spotted skipper.
  • On abelia: 1 hummingbird moth visited flowers in bloom. Did not come to lobelia, possibly because I was standing there?
  • On coastal plain tickseed: 1 orange assassin bug
  • Robber fly, later ID'ed as red-footed cannibal fly: hanging around coneflowers and abelias, did not see it hunting or carrying prey
  • Woodland pinkroot: late blooms on 2 of 4 plants.
  • Ants on lobelia and woodland pinkroot - not sure of species
