I have quite a few Mums (or Asters) around the house and garden. I think it is fascinating to see all the insects that like to pollinate them. There are quite a few different bees, but these two guys are there almost all the time. I finally got interested enough to look up the orange-headed guy. I like the quote: "Another sure sign of fall - in addition to the woollybears crossing the road - is the appearance of ctenuchid moths on the last blooming flowers of the summer." I think the butterfly at the top is a Fiery Skipper butterfly, but remember there are thousands of skippers!
