June Bugs is a name that applies to beetle like bugs that fly around porch lights in June and early July. As a kid in Illinois our June bugs were all brown not green. Dragonfly Woman blog post speaks to this here

What's bugging me are Flatid Plant Hopper moths all lined up and breeding and inserting their eggs into 'woodier' stems, vines and twigs to emerge next Spring as white fluffy deposits that hop away when disturbed . Speedie noticed them on her Hosta bloom stalks (one of their favorites...there are many)
