| Question Mark butterfly |
 |
| Telamona decorata (a treehopper, left) and an unidentified Plant Bug (Miridae) |
 |
| Another unidentified Plant bug |
 |
| Possibly yet another unidentified plant bug. I put in possibly because it may be the same species as above as it is a late instar nymph (teenager) |
 |
| An unidentified planthopper, treehopper, or spittlebug (left) and the first unidentified plant bug |
 |
| Alder Spittlebugs |
 |
| So many alder spittlebugs |
 |
| This photo and all of the ones above (except for the Question mark) where on some new growth at the base of a linden/basswood. There where probably hundreds of Alder Spittlebugs on that tree. Note to self: lindens have exquisite sap. |

| Red Admiral |
 |
| Northeastern Hammertail. Despite the long structure on this fly's tail, it is not a wasp and does not have a stinger. It does like to eat wasps, though. |
 |
| Zylomya americana. initially, I thought this fly was a robber fly, like the Northeastern Hammertail, which would make it a wasp-eater. But it is a Wood Soldier Fly, which eat decaying wood and have mouthless adults. Based on its coloration, it may be mimicking a wasp. This has been a lot of stuff about wasps, but no actual wasps. If you want to see actual wasps, go to the very bottom of this post. |

| Goldenrod Soldier Beetle |

| Red Goldenrod Aphids |
 |
| Monarch Caterpillar. Chonker'll be pupatin' soon. Wonder when the eclose'll be! That was a purposefully confusing mixture of formal butterfly terms and standard informal abbreviations |
 |
| Some wasps flying. There were like half a dozen of these wasps flyin' around this one tree. They remain unidentified |
