Insects on My Almond Verbena July 14, 2013

My almond verbena was is in full bloom this weekend.  The smell was heavenly.  I think almond verbenas have the best smelling flowers of any I have ever smelled.  The insects were all over my little tree this weekend.  I stood next to it, smelled the flowers, and took pictures of insects.
There were many dozens of this little fellow all over the flowers.  If they live communally I imagine their home would be pretty formidable looking if you stumbled upon it in the woods somewhere.






Above, this Althea bud was covered with ants or ant-like insects.
