Mistflower and late bonset
A yellow-collared scape moth (Cisseps fulvicollis) sips nectar from blue mistflower. Contrary to its name, this sleek moth actually has an orange collar. Note the delicately-serrated antennae. Photos taken this morning at Coopers Rock State Forest.
Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum). You can find this North American native growing along riverbanks and other areas with moist soil.
