Red Admirable
It's been a buggy summer. The heat and humidity combined with a wet spring have given us a plentitude of crawly things here in Philly. It's not just bees, flies, spiders and aphids. This year, I've got unidentified nasties munching away on my basil, webbing on my tomatoes but no spiders, and some pretty butterflies flittering around my butterfly bush. But what are they? Should I stomp them to bits or coo lovingly over them in appreciation? Check out http://www.whatsthatbug.com/ or http://www.insectclopedia.com/ for answers. The interfaces are a little wonky, but spend some time using the search feature and you're bound to find what you're looking for, complete with photos and some general information.
