Going through old pics Icame across this migrant hawker, noticing something I think I missed before.
There seems to be what looks like larvae in/around its mouth.
Parasitic infestation, breakfast/lunch, injury, normal anatomy?
Anybody have any idea what this could be?

I just think we should all know what bugs our friends would be if we got turned into bugs, okay?

For me, I’d *want* to be an orchid mantis, but I’m pretty sure I’d somehow end up a rosy maple moth.

What about you? 🤔

But no one can be perfect at everything. Its easy to forget that Dragonflies can't walk!

Chaste tree is in full bloom, and bumblebees are all over it. Butterflies also enjoy it.
This is a perennial. I have propagated two other trees from it.
