Ants aren't cute exactly but they important jobs! I like them as long as they don't start trying to come inside.
They're all hard working lads :)
More info:
Native plant garden in St. Louis, Missouri, going on its third year. These are prairie blazing star (Liatris pycnostachya).
I think these are brown-belted bumblebees (Bombus griseocollis) (but insect identification is not my forte and would appreciate a correction if anyone knows!)
