@mossynewt.bsky.socialOrange hawkweed, Pilosella aurantica. A very attractive invasive species. They spread heavily both through seed and stolons, and can form monocultures. They do provide food for generalist polinators, like the small halictid bee visiting in the pictures. But native hawkweeds provide more.

@gardeningwithh.bsky.socialI am not certain but I think this is a Trogus vulpinus zipping around a crabapple. I’m sure I will be spending the rest of the week searching for canadian swallowtail caterpillars to poach. #bugsky

@scarabknightnoctis.bsky.socialHey #bugsky
Just listened to @arthro-pod.bsky.social 's two part special on the rise and fall of DDT. Would SUPER recommend it, especially if you want to understand how modern USamerican attitudes towards bugs were formed.
