Small completely black butterfly
About 1 inch long, found on a suburban sidewalk
Several of these little guys were buzzing all around the gravel driveway for several days.
This sphinx moth, species unknown to me, attached itself to Peggy's Mom's screen door for three days in a row in late December. Identity help requested
Bee (Apidae) on thistle (Asteraceae: Cirsium) in restored prairie at Meadowbrook Park
I observed this small bee (?) on a thistle flower.
This may be bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), but seems more like the native pasture thistle to me.
Most likely Dasymutilla klugii
Velvet Ant (Mutillidae family)
