Take a walk on the white side


Fritillary
This is not anything racist!  Heavens no.
Snout
I've been walking the Richardson trail and seeing so much capital N nature happening before my very eyes.
These white-flowered weeds/wildflowers line the trail. The plants are umbrels similar to what I consider Queen Anne's Lace.


After much searching I am going to guess they are Anthriscus, known as  Cow's Parsley or Queen Anne's Lace.  The visitors should sign in.

Some are visitors are shiny.
Others fuzzy.
One ghostly predator, a man-in-the-moon spider.. 


Mystery guest, please sign in.

Marvelous! Robert Frost has a poem about that white spider!

And snout butterflies have been found in 30 million year old fossil shale strata, but the biological purpose of the nose apparatus is still unknown.
