Went with family, so not many photos. Definitely would love to come back and take some time to explore, especially the bugs.
In particular, Rehoboth State Park contains an Atlantic white cedar swamp, which is a habitat I haven’t explored before.

I’m guessing Olethreutes:

This ant and the aphid were interacting, but I couldn’t spend too much time studying it. It was interesting to me that the aphid was winged…so it was less likely to stay in one place, be “millked’ by the ant, and need protection. I’ve heard some ants remove the wings from the aphids to make them more domestic, I wonder if that was in the cards.


Lepturinae, longhorn flower beetle, in Cerambycidae. I think Analeptura lineola.

Firefly

Pisaurina mira

Long legged fly at home, Dolichopodidae, probably Condylostylus
