Goldenrod insects

Nectar sources are becoming more scarce, and goldenrod remains one of the best places to find insects. Asters are beginning to bloom and they will also be productive into the fall. On this flowerhead there is an ambush bug, a locust borer (long-horned beetle), and a mating pair of pennsylvania leatherwings (soldier beetles). The locust borers are really in evidence now. I must have found 20 on goldenrod, without even trying.
