The pollinators are still far fewer and further between than they were three years ago. These four appear to be among the most common in central Bexar County right now:
This European Honeybee has a large American Basketflower all to itself. An Orange Sulphur is fairly well camouflaged on an Engelmann's Cutleaf Daisy. A Checkered White found the tiny flowers of a Texas Vervain particularly appealing. Probably the most common butterfly in the area right now is the Red Admiral. This one happens to be feeding on the nectar of an extremely annoying non-native invasive Hedge Parsley, also known as Beggar's Tick.
These photos were taken on a walk along the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River upstream from the VFW Blvd trailhead to Roosevelt Ave on Tuesday, April 19, 2016.
