In less than ten minutes, I saw the following in my goldenrod:
Red belted bumblebee
Common eastern bumblebee
Jagged ambush bug
Some kind of masked bee
Hairy banded mining bee
Drury's long horned bee
Fourteen spotted lady beetle
Orange legged furrow bee
Northern paper wasp
Mexican grass carrying wasp
European tube wasp
Autumn meadowhawk
Plus a bunch of tiny black beetles that I can never identify because they're too small
Plus a bunch of flies

This bee is called Drury's long horned bee, but I would like to officially propose a new name: furry chaps-wearing bee

Danger! Danger! This critter didn't realize how close it was to getting ambushed.

This little masked bee got too close. But I guess ambush bugs have to eat, too.
