After the Burn

Just a few weeks after our prairie burn and we have some vegetation coming back. Unfortunately, much of it is thistles or dandelions. However, there are some more desirable plants showing.

Currently we are seeing “Golden Alexanders” in many areas. This plant was hosting a spined soldier bug. I suspect this bug might be related to stink beetles.
