Some folks consider mosquitoes, flies and cockroaches and other pests as "the insects of summer."
No, the "insects of summer" include a flame skimmer dragonfly perched on a bamboo stick, a honey bee foraging on a blanket flower, a lady beetle (aka ladybug) devouring aphids, and a Gulf Fritillary butterfly nectaring on a butterfly bush.
All colorful.
Red is the traditional color of warning and danger, but it is also the color of hatred and anger (seeing red), as well as the color of love (red roses).
Red is also the color that attracts attention (and why some photographers enjoy making a bee-line for the colorful insects and flowers).
And orange? The color symbolizes optimism, enthusiasm, and youthful energy.
Together, red and orange help welcome summer.
