jmorth said:One of the last plants to bloom here are the chrysanthemums, mine is named Sheffield. Being one of the few plants blooming yet it kind of acts like a winged garden thing magnet.

It looks very similar to the Yellow Collared Scape Moth, which I see all the time; but without the white wing tips. I searched some on line but have yet to ascertain the identity.

"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
