Image of Halloween Pennant

Description:

I literally had a field day Wednesday. I stopped by the side of the road to look for bugs on a patch of Purple Loosestrife, & hit photo paydirt with a bee in flight. But the road also happened to be running past a fallow field at the Rutgers ag school (Cook College) which was planted in Red Clover, & was brimming with butterflies, including Common Checkered Skipper, Clouded Sulphur, Orange Sulphur, Monarch, at least 1 Black/Spicebush Swallowtail, Eastern Tailed-blue, & probably others I'm forgetting or couldn't ID, as well as dragonflies & the occasional interesting weed. These Halloween Pennants were working the area (along with various other Odonata), & resting atop the dead cornstalks of the adjacent parcel.
