It seems to be a time for insects at the marsh. The crickets are singing away in the tall grasses, grasshoppers and damselflies abound, the odd cloud of midges is encountered when walking, bees are busy collecting pollen in the goldenrod. This morning I noticed this bronze greenbottle fly on one of the many varieties of goldenrod, possibly Slender Fragrant Goldenrod. Apparently bottle flies are also pollinators. It has been said that goldenrod attracts more kinds of insects than any other flower.
