Praying Mantis, so named because of the gesture of its arms , or Preying Mantis also know as because of its predatory nature. Love seeing these in the garden.

Butterfly bushes attract many, many "bugs."
As do the Phlox in the late summer garden.
My yellow butterfly bush seems to out grow in size and flowers, its brothers in purple, and is more attractive to the garden bugs.
Monarch butterfly on a perennial Ageratum bloom. I always think of these plants as "back to school flowers," because they always seem to bloom the first week of school, right after Labor Day.
I guess that I will have more Monarchs next year!
