Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey

Volunteer: Texas Ragwort

There are few volunteer Texas Ragwort (Senecio ampullaceus) plants here (not to be confused with Ragweed, which can trigger allergic reactions for some). It’s fairly tall (about 2 feet).

I didn’t notice until after I uploaded the second photograph in this post that there was something feeding or resting on a flower on the right side. I think it’s a Spotted Cucumber Beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata) — I see quite a few of them here. Here’s a zoomed photo.

About Me

Nature Lover.

Student Gardener.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
