THE LAST PRAIRIE BLOOMS PROVIDE POLLEN & NECTAR FOR MANY INTERESTING INSECTS

Our prairie is producing the last of this years blooms.  The yellow Stiff Goldenrod and the purple New England Asters are the most common right now.  Both flowers provide a last supper for many insects and bees.  The most common insect on our flowers right now are actually flies that imitate bees with there stripes and color patterns.  These flies that look like bees are called flower flies-I prefer to call them bee flies.
