After breakfast I spotted a grasshopper on the window screen. So there are bugs as well as feeders, dogwood and beautyberries, all waiting for the Fall bird migration.
The cloud cover broke apart and there was intermittent sun and less wind. A little magnolia green jumping spider (Lyssomanes viridis) ballooned past me to land on the table. According to Wikipedia, it would have hatched this Summer. I chased it around with the camera to find a background that didn't hide it.
A tiny but colorful moth, probably
Genus Pyrausta, tried to find nectar on the mountain mint. It was only in focus upside down but it was a rusty red. Meanwhile I was sad that the hibiscus was cut down and most of the morning glory torn out.
