From
our walk there continue to be opportunities to exercise an immersive
experience in the natural world around me.
Lygaeus
Kalmii - the Small Eastern Milkweed Bug – is found
throughout the US. This critter dines on milkweed but is immune
to the toxic chemicals in the plant. And just as with the
monarch butterfly the regular diet of milkweed also endows this
beetle with the same properties making it toxic to other predators.
Who knew?
Of course there are New England asters as far as they
eye can see.
Nevertheless, some golds of autumn too.
Stiff
goldenrod .....
And ginormous patches of sneeze weed....
