藿香 (Agastache rugosa)觀察者
sricher描述
According to a botanist I was with (Charlie Briggs), this is the Korean Agastache rugosa, although it was sold as as the native Agastache foeniculum as seed to the person who planted it; photo included of leaf underside shows the circular indentations that confirm it.

for @pdsmith, before it gets lost in my 'to photograph' stash...
Not sure on the id but think its be best fit. was fresh enough to still be hinged when I picked it up but it broke apart after I washed and dried it out.

Faint purple-coloured nacre. Not totally weathered but not fresh either. Unfortunately, any beak sculpture is quite worn

I think Pearl Crescent by the black lines across the orange area on the upper side of the hind wing, but I’m confused by the ROM field guide to butterflies of Ontario that says Northern Crescents tend to have orange antennae clubs and Pearl Crescent tend to have black tipped antennae, but the photos they include of the species show the pearl having orange-ish tips to its antennae…?

Mussels caught in shallow water with dropping water levels in Lake Ontario. Moved to deeper water.

I've re-posted this photo but left it as P. fragilis for now. L. compressa is a possibility here but I've never seen one with such a pronounced "wing". This is a lotic system.

I have changed the status of this observation to “casual” to reflect that this individual is most likely a released pet and doesn’t occur naturally at this location.

Found this one drunkenly eating another darner while lying upside down on the road!

Loved how this one decided, of all places to be on that log, to perch itself on a knot so that it could point its butt end up towards the sun while basking

Larva found crawling on road, faster than one would expect; was placed on leaf to photograph, but understandably it was really not cooperative and intent on motoring away; no spot to pull over on the road and traffic behind me so this photo session was a quickie

Found on the ground crossing an access road, so there is no host plant information. There is a doppelganger for this specimen here http://bugguide.net/node/view/437425, which was found in Lake Superior Provincial Park, which is identified as Hemaris thetis by David Wagner (caterpillar guru); I am aware H. thetis is considered restricted to the west, but now that fellow's image (#437425) is not the only one that looks H. thetis-y in Ontario... I contacted an entomologist at Cornell who stated the colour of the caudal horn on my specimen looks good for Hemaris gracilis, but that H. gracilis should have pink in the ridge circling the head, and mine doesn't fit H. thysbe either, and is definitely not H. diffinis...Help/theories are welcome!
