#InsectFriday Police Car Moth (named for a time and place when police cars were black and white!) Gnophaela vermiculata. Not super abundant, but not uncommon here and sometimes a number seen at once. This one was late July last year on Achillea/Yarrow in the yard or #garden (there are wild, cultivated and self sown hybrids around) #insects #inverts #NaturalGardening #pollinators #WildlifeGarden #Alberta #Canada

#FlowersOnFriday Given the forecast for next week, this *could* be the last time for this year I'll be posting things still flowering outdoors!
Plenty of unposted #flower pics to get through winter, besides the season's own beauty!
