The carpenter bees are busy ... buzzzy.
The Great Southern Plague - Lovebugs!

I don't know if other areas of the country suffer these insects, but I know they plague us along the Gulf Coast.  We usually see them twice a year and at times they can be the worst thing ever.  They splat on your car windows to obscure your view and on your bumper and grill to peel away the paint.  People have tried everything from Pam cooking spray to WD40 to make it easier to remove their dead bodies.  I don't think any of it works.
... and anything yellow and green ...
... so do ladybugs ...

I always like little surprises, like this seven-spotted lady beetle (a/k/a ladybug) on a bull thistle.

A little Carolina Jasmine ... and a little lady bug.
