Thanks Roberta! It has been a glorious "Indian Summer" here in Maryland! Yesterday we had record setting temps at 80F and have yet to have a hard frost. We still have robins, butterflies, bees and of course bugs......roses are still blooming, clematis still climbing and my geraniums still alive....the leaves are about all fallen due, except the red maples, to a storm with heavy rain and wind but temps are 10 degrees above normal for Oct/Nov but well within the "nice" range. Cool nights..mild days..

Thanks Don...very interesting bug and the greenish cast is not "man made". My late hardy geraniums are still blooming and the bees, butterflies and bugs are loving them....The irradesence was a plus. Thanks for your comments.

Truthfully Greg, I don't know what it is. It is November and I am not sure the life span of a JB goes this long. But it has been a very strange "Indian Summer". We went from record setting warmth to heavy frost in 48 hours all in a week. Butterflies, robins, honey bees, roses blooming, clematis in full bloom...The JB we normally see here in Maryland in early-mid summer dont have the irradesence heads.
Thanks for stopping by..
