Insects in the Midwest

I'm traveling in the northern Midwest right now and it's been very insect-y! When it's swarms of gnats and mosquitoes, that's not so nice for us humans, but the bumblebees and beetles are lovely. My most exciting sighting was a bumblebee hawkmoth!

Here you can see the "bumblebee" coloration better.


This was early in the morning, before the sun hit their flowers.
