I’ve spent a few years getting familiar with the taxonomy of native plants, and while there are certainly some species I have a tough time identifying, it’s peanuts compared to the problems I have in the insect and spider world. I’m reasonably good at pointing out a fly, bee, sawfly, butterfly, or moth. Beyond that, however, there are many insects that simply leave me with nothing more than a question mark. Do you have any idea what these little critters may be? They were all seen darting around the woodland garden the third week of July 2012…
This one inch long critter was enjoying the downy skullcap plants. Could that be helpful to identifying this insect?
These little guys (3/4 of an inch) seem to like each other. They fly, although they are far from graceful
