Dr Hamilton may have already left for his month of collecting but he seemed interested in the variety of adults that we posted earlier. So we went back to Harms today to the Ambrosia patch and took some pictures of the various adults we found there.

E. carinata

are those hoppers on a sunflower?
because i've seen those on mine. they seem to have a symbiotic relationship with carpenter ants. when ever i would approach one with my finger an ant would go to attack my finger.

 
These were on Ambrosia
which is giant ragweed, and yes they were tended by ants, but we don't know which species of ant.
