First of September

This is a cloudless sulphur, very large and lemony yellow.

The cloudless suphur is a resident of the south and a variable migrant in September.  Probably attracted by our Sennas, which is its host plant.

Most of the time it  is flying, and often high in the trees.

Here it is the first of September and the Bidens is starting to bloom.  Watch for it in different places, as it is a self-seeding annual.

Also blooming in the morning is chickory, which is near the wetland.   Years ago some residents tried very hard to establish it in the meadow with no success.  Now it has come into our area on its own.
