If I had a macro lens for my camera I'd be able to find even more bugs; like the link points out a goldenrod patch is full of neat finds at this time of year!<BR/><BR/>John: I'm not sure, but guess it's the common garden spider, argiope aurantia, like the one I found by my pond a weeks ago.LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-1160227793165675842006-10-07T08:29:00.000-05:002006-10-07T08:29:00.000-05:00Those yellow flowers are so pretty- they remind me...Those yellow flowers are so pretty- they remind me of floral garland from the craft store!

I think of nightshade as having tiny little fruits - I guess there's more than one? These almost looked like small cherry tomatoes, but the foliage wasn't typical of a tomato. Maybe what I've seen in my yard isn't nightshade after all.<BR/><BR/>There were lots of monarchs around for most of the week, but yesterday it turned cold and rainy. I'm trying to figure a way to get to Cape May this weekend while they're still tagging - maybe Sunday when the weather is supposed to improve!LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-1160188542485649922006-10-06T21:35:00.000-05:002006-10-06T21:35:00.000-05:00Oh, wait a minute...that is the same thing as nigh...Oh, wait a minute...that is the same thing as nightshade.<BR/>Duh.Susan Gets Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216170589750418861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-1160188491578203692006-10-06T21:34:00.000-05:002006-10-06T21:34:00.000-05:00Looks like tropical soda apple to me.(Solanum viar...Looks like tropical soda apple to me.<BR/>(Solanum viarum Dunal)<BR/><BR/>A noxious weed...we have them trying to get a grip on our fence.<BR/>Monarchs are freakin' everywhere!
