Unexpected and Blent In

I've read these are rare.

New England Aster .... in PINK!  There are a small patch among the purple near a pond along Boone Avenue.

I did not realize I captured this little guy until I got home.  This is most likely a Scentless Plant Bug.  Do you see him?  On top of the center dried bloom?

Likewise, this cucumber beetleblends into the yellow in the center of the flower, though not as well.

Enjoy this first day of autumn!
