Indian Pipe or Ghost Pipe ( Monotropa Uniflora )

Closer related to fungi, as it doesn’t possess chlorophyll; it needs to jack into tree systems to survive. This is where it commingles with various other fungi and parasites for nutrients.

The colors were really poppin’. Though I took this photo kind of late in the season.

Autofocus on my Canon got snagged up on the flower as the bee took off.

My Nikon got the bee in some pretty decent details.

The bees and bald-face hornets love these flowers. The hornets wouldn’t sit still for a picture. 😩

I love both of these photos though.

This little gem is a Violet Oil Beetle ( Meloe Violaceus )

I need a Macro lens for these little fella’s. I’m pretty sure momma finished laying eggs or this is an offspring rising to the skies from the dirt.
