Bug on the 5th of July

5 July 2025 in Erie County, Pennsylvania, somewhere in a field with flowers and insects. (The yellow-green flower in most of the shots is probably invasive Wild Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa).)

Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)
Wasp species, possibly Smoky Winged Beetle Bandit (Cerceris fumipennis)
Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica)
Philadelphia Fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus)
Queen Anne’s Lace a.k.a. Wild Carrot (Daucus carota)
Hoverfly, species uncertain
