I see them all over my biennial bee blossom plants, and on the nicotiana rustica as well.

But even when I look for them they’re easy to miss. They blend into the plant, and look almost like flower buds.

They move slowly until they decide to fly, and then — whoosh! They’re gone.

I love their spindly antennas, spider-web thin with tips that look like drops of water.
