Well, here is a two-fer! The wildflower is Oxeye Daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum). Historically, infusions of the petals and leaves have been made into wine and medicine, and the dew collected from them was taken to promote longevity. The passenger is a Cicada, Brood XIX (Magicicada cassini/tredecassini). This is one of the species of 13/17 year Cicada. In Tennessee they are 13 year hense Brood XIX.
Love the dual capture George!
