Wonderful photos, but do be careful. Some fungus is dangerous to touch.

(The Harvester is the unusual butterfly that’s entirely carnivorous.)

This seems to check out, because the only time I ever saw a Harvester was the same year I saw the Boogie Woogie Aphids, both in the same wetland.

Yes, we have a low spot in the woods where they tend to appear, usually closer to October. I think they are fascinating and kind of spooky at the same time.
