Small worlds

[centuryplant]

Gray-Headed Coneflowers must be really juicy in late July. All these little brown stink bugs (Euschistus sp., I think) were crowding onto them while ignoring everything else on the prairie. I only found one on another plant.

Encounter with an ant.

Notice the nymph peeping out down near the stem....

...and now clambering around underneath one of the mating adults.

Those are gorgeous.

And, and, vividly sharp warm-temperature bugs! in nice light!
