No snails today, but I saw these ants on a dandelion. I checked the other dandelions in the garden for ants but didn’t see them on the others. I’m not sure why they liked this one more. Maybe because it was closer to the flower bed or it had more aphids on it. It looked like they were after the nectar though.
These pics were taken on 18 June. I have heard a about bagworm moths and the “houses” their larvae make out of twigs and other materials, but I have never seen one…until today! Today I was tickled to find two of them in the garden!
The bagworm moth larvae collect small plant materials and attaches them around itself to make a nice little home. The bagworm moth larvae are mobile. It drags around everywhere it goes.
