(Some are important pollinators.) Come fall Goldenrods will be my favorite hangout but in spring the common Ox-eye Daisy always reveals a fascinating diversity of macroscopic life. "This Week at Hilton Pond" I again visit a local daisy patch and report back in words and images what invertebrates I found--some of which you may be able to identify more precisely.
