User's notes
This area used to support a large and dense Horehound thicket, which has now been largely controlled. Unfortunately 300 Cobblers Peg (Bidens pillosa) plants emerged and the Horehound Bug seems to be feeding on the unopened flower heads - which would be a good thing

It would be great if the Horehound Bug has a liking for Cobbler's Pegs elsewhere.
