Making More Bugs, Part 1

 Plume Moths on Milkweed.
 Some form of Hemiptera on Daisy.
 Small Milkweed Bugs on Milkweed
 Plant Bugs on Daisy.
 Cabbage Whites on Oregon Grape.
Possibly Harlequin Bugs on Daisy. 
I've gotten behind on posting my findings.  Lots of exciting things happening as new species of wildflowers bloom and attract new pollinators, and all this punctuated by the occasional surprise snake, lizard, frog, deer, or fox.  So far now bear or Mountain Lion sightings.  Hear daily reports from campers of Beaver sightings.  There will be three parts to this series on insects mating.  If I get questions or comments asking for more science, I'll do my best to respond.  But, meanwhile, just enjoy seeing our local biodiversity.
