Riley's Clearwing Moth (Synanthedon rileyana), taken June 5, 2026, in Georgia, US
A gorgeous clearwing moth hunkering down for the night on a small leaf, shaded from the sun! Like many clearwing moths, this species appears very wasp-like, especially when flitting between flowers, helping deter their more wasp-averse predators. The number of wasp mimics running around is crazy, but it clearly works to some extent. If you saw this flying and thought it was a yellowjacket, you'd probably leave it alone, too!
August on the Mon River Trail is marked by towering stands of Joe Pye weed, bowed by the weight of their enormous flowerheads, curtains of bobbing sunflowers, and the creeping tendrils of our beautiful native legumes, including the maroon-flowered groundnut (Apios americana), also known as wild potato and Indian potato, whose edible tubers were once a staple food of Native Americans. But my favorite by far is hairy leafcup (Smallanthus uvedalia), a shrubby, sunflower-like aster that can produce up to one hundred flowers from a single plant. Its enormous leaves, which are opposite and palmately-lobed, are reminiscent of a large animal's paws, which have earned this perennial beauty an alternative common name - bear's foot.
coolest bug you’ve found recently?
Caught this beautiful beast for my insect biology and classification collection project, but I realized I forgot my creature container at home. Went to let it go but had entomology student plot armor where it stayed put and let me get a nice video so I can still use it for the digital portion of the project. I say I had entomology student plot armor because these guys are basically always in flight and definitely aren't the chill-on-your-hand sort like some other moths. So this was really neat.
