 Sweet Pepperbush (Summersweet)
Clethra alnifolia


I promise I will post some more shots of these pretty little flowers. I wasn't happy with the composition or DOF with the shots sans creepy, ugly, mean looking bug, so the bug shot was what I uploaded....

Oh...and that same bug was on the same set of flowers this AM - he/she had not left and was still just hanging out.

I'm with MaryO: Cool-looking bug. The flower is nice too, especially with the liquid droplets.

I'm clearly in the minority 'cuz I think the bug is fascinating :-) It's an Evil Monkey King-faced Bug!

Got to go with violinist on this one. Insect is interesting in looks and color but the flower is what we crave here.

Guess I'm a more flower less bug type of guy. Nice shot and good detail on the insect, but I've never heard of the flower and want to see it!
