| This week I planted this little clustered mountain mint bush in the sunniest spot in my yard. I often hover over mountain mint plants in parks because insects love them. While they collect pollen and nectar, I have a chance to photograph them up close. |
 |
| Like this male Ammophila, a thread-waisted wasp, who seems to give new meaning to the name. Note the little patch of orange on his abdomen. |
 |
| Or the lovely great golden digger wasp, so called for the golden hairs on its head and body. Click to enlarge. |
 |
| Here's hoping that my little plant will look like this in the future and attract many interesting wasps and other insects. |
