Butterflies have been busy playing the "dating game" in our yard as they choose their mates. Three Peck's Skippers are assessing the suitability of a match on a Sedum flowerhead.
Late blooming Sedum is a magnate for butterflies, including this Viceroy.
Orange Sulphurs can be difficult to photograph as they rarely seem to sit still. They eventually need to take a break and the Missouri Ironweed in our backyard met this Sulphur's needs!
A Western Honeybee caught my attention simply because it was inactive.
Upon closer inspection, I found an Ambush Bug that had been lurking in the flower heads waiting for an unsuspecting insect to stop for some nectar.
Eastern Chipmunks hang out under our bird feeder waiting for food to fall to ground level. This fellow has found a "cheekful" of seeds in preparation for the winter.
