I set up an automatic corn feeder as well as a motion activated camera this past winter to see what was in the area. I fattened a bunch of raccoons and enjoyed seeing their antics captured digitally. There are wild hogs and deer in this part of the country, but other than one buck visiting the feeder, the raccoons were the only ones hungry enough to keep coming back.
I think those are blister beetles in the thistle.
