Summer Gold

Butterflies and moths are enjoying summer gold these days as flowers wind down for the season.

I believe the zinnias in my front yard are on their last legs (er, stems). Critters such as the beetle, underneath, are taking over, while butterflies and moths, above, are scarce this summer.

Something's Eating the Zinnias

Something's eating the zinnias! Earwig? Cutworm? Anybody got an idea?

I went in search of butterflies and found this little creature instead!
