creatures of the lantana





It is 79 degrees outside right now but was in the 40s last night. We have already had a couple of freezes this season. Hearty flowers are still hanging on in this fall weather. Lantana is one of them. This single plant gives food and shelter to several creatures I wouldn't even have noticed had I not taken a closer look. Note the harvestmen, lynx spider, brown butterfly, preying mantis and the bee. There were also a couple of grasshoppers, one brown, one gray.
