Bees and Blooming Goldenrod


Today the focus at the Charles River Peninsula turns to goldenrod. It is in bloom and it is attracting zillions of bees, wasps, hornets, and other bee-like creatures. It is interesting to watch the diversity of insects on a single bloom.


Also, the monarch butterfly caterpillars are out--

this one was camped out on a tiny milkweed right in the middle of the trail.
