On Sunday a very tattered cabbage white butterfly was still fluttering around some of the mustard plants. Also noted were bumblebees, hover flies, a few yellowjackets, several corn rootworm beetles, and not much else in the way of insects. Today I saw none, surprise, surprise :-)

A lone flowering lupine added a burst of colour to the Butterfly Meadow, but most other flowering plants have finished blooming for the year. However, it is still possible to find a few flowers here and there still flowering, for example, many of the mustards, some goldenrods, the occasional yarrow, etc.
