Dense Blazing Star (Liatris spicata)

This is another repeat. For more information, Click Here. It's one of my favorites mainly because of the secondary interest. There are always butterfly's, clear wing moths and praying mantises to add a little visual interest.

 

The mantises know the buterflys will be there and they wait for their opportunity. You see a lot of swallow tails with one or both tails missing.
