The Parking Lot Garden is absolutely humming with insects. Today, there were morning cloaks, monarchs and other butterflies along with dozens of little flies, beetles, etc. It's amazing how much our native plants have attracted insects. 
Here are a couple of videos that are stored in Google Photos. If you turn up your sound on both the video and your computer, you can hear the buzzing, humming and "cricketing". Once you click on the link, then please click on the video itself so that it plays with sound. Thanks.
I am walking from near the Centre to the East side of the Parking Lot Garden. You can see what is planted in this area by going to our pdf Native Plants for Parking Lot Garden.
The Monarchs are attracted to the pink Dotted Blazing Star Liatris punctata. The yellow flowers on the left are Coneflower Ratibida columnifera. The white flowers at the end of the video are Pearly Everlasting Anaphalis margaritacea.
