Default Achillea and friend - StinkBug.JPG (1/1)

Looking dapper in his Halloween colors.

Yarrows are perfect habitat for stink bugs, assassin bugs, and other
insect predators that hide in the network of stems beneath the blooms.

Queen Anne's Lace provides a similar milieu. I remember as a boy
checking dozens of flower heads and invariably finding concealed in each
a solitary, armor-plated, camouflaged denizen capable of taking out a
bumblebee ten times its size - the Jagged Ambush Bug. Haven't seen one
for a spell.
