  • Red goldenrod aphids (Uroleucon nigrotuberculatum) feed on an Early Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides). Early-season aphids are generally wingless and don’t lay eggs; instead, they live-birth female nymphs (as seen here), who may also be already pregnant - without male involvement. <br />
Winged females usually develop later in the season, making it easier for them to travel to new plants. In addition, autumn brings on a phase of sexual reproduction, which produces eggs that survive the winter.

  • Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans) flower. AKA blue bugle and St. Lawrence plant. A close-up look shows insect eggs laid on two of the four anthers.

  • A Spangled-winged Thread-waisted Wasp (Ammophila pictipennis) places a larger pebble on its nest entrance to hide it from other insects. These wasps dig a brood tunnel and lay a single egg on a stung caterpillar. Then, before they leave to hunt for additional caterpillars (to ensure the larva has enough food until they pupate), they plug the brood chamber entrance with a larger pebble and hide it with the surrounding sand. Camouflaging the entrance prevents predation and parasitization of their larva by other insects. This image shows the plug pebble covered with sand.

This image shows how it bends its front legs,  using the stronger hairs on them to move the sand quickly.
