New England Asters



*Sorry about the blurry picture, but this little green wasp or fly didn't sit still long and left very soon. Any idea what it might be? Perhaps a cuckoo wasp?*

ooh! Sure looks like an emerald cuckoo wasp, how pretty. We have those asters in MI too. :)

Hi Carina, thanks for the wasp ID. I had never seen one before. This one showed up while I was trying to take pics of the flowers.
I think the purple asters are New England asters by name, no clue on the white ones. Pretty whatever they are.

I've seen these around here and looked them up...house I lived in with the ex had 30 acres of fields and woods out back, used to see them a lot.

Ah-ha! I've been enjoying those asters along the roadsides, but I didn't know what they were. And the emerald cuckoo wasp is gorgeous!

Carina, my son says he see them all the time too. The thing was sure pretty, like a glittering, flying jewel..

Hey there numberwise, my dear friend. So good to see you here.....very pretty this fall despite the dearth of colorful leaves.

When I see Asters I always think of the rhyme Ashes, Ashes we all fall down. Weird huh?
