Wasps are generally considered to be beneficial insects, as they prey on insect pests.

| Butterfly Weed, Asclepias tuberosa. |
If you are a regular reader of my blog, you may be tired of seeing Butterflyweed.
But it was in bloom when I bought it 3 months ago, and it has bloomed steadily ever since.
A wonderful addition to the garden!

Have a Great Week-end!

ReplyDeleteButterfly Weed has such pretty flowers, and you have some really nice photos. I bought another Butterfly Weed just today. It's an all yellow one called 'Silky Gold'. I'm looking forward to having another color.

ReplyDeleteDear Lea, I will never ever get tired of your butterfly weed. Your little wasp seems to be enjoying them also :) Love your photos, they are fantastic and I really appreciate you sharing them with Today's Flowers. Thank you and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI don't know this plant, but if it blooms like that I want one!
ReplyDeleteI think it's pretty. I love the shots.
ReplyDeleteOle Mississip looks well watered this summer. I, too, tried Butterfly weed this year and it has done great except for one of them drawing aphids. Thanks for stopping by my place!
ReplyDeleteLea,
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning pictures! I love the butterflyweed colors and shape. I have never seen butterflyweeds before. Look at the details you captured on the wasp.
Great photos! I was hoping someone would have identified what kind of wasp that is. I have some that are similar.
