I can sit in a chair and observe them dancing on the Echinacea 6 inches away. I think that they know the weather is changing and are trying to get the last food and last eggs out.ChrisNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197758051567332010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510067827082775363.post-44344211936937023962008-08-29T14:20:00.000-05:002008-08-29T14:20:00.000-05:00Dear Chris,Welcome home!

I too love to travel but seem to love coming home even more!<BR/>Nice Safari...<BR/>I love the Monarchs.<BR/>I do think you are seeing a Black Swallowtail caterpillar. They are so pretty. <BR/>Your bees seem to be very happy and unaware that the season is coming to a close.<BR/>Have a relaxing holiday weekend.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510067827082775363.post-12471818489159296322008-08-27T08:59:00.000-05:002008-08-27T08:59:00.000-05:00Hey Beth...I am calling those bugs yellow aphids. ...Hey Beth...I am calling those bugs yellow aphids.

I like all butterflies that come to the garden, but since I don't have variety I have to go with color (making the monarch fav.).ChrisNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197758051567332010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510067827082775363.post-79106391451759740162008-08-27T07:59:00.000-05:002008-08-27T07:59:00.000-05:00I have those littly bitty bugs on my goldenrod too...I have those littly bitty bugs on my goldenrod too - what are they?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07956870755262675337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510067827082775363.post-2189244255394046762008-08-24T09:22:00.000-05:002008-08-24T09:22:00.000-05:00Welcome back Chris!
