If there is ever a native plant that hosts too many species to take count of it's Eupatorium serotinum -- Late boneset. There are exactly two of these plants in my backyard pocket prairie, purchased from my friends at Morningstar Farms this time last year. It is a veritable bee, wasp, fly, and beetle magnet (among others). It is so fragrant, I like sitting and shooting wildlife right next to the plant.
Here is what the wildflower experts of Texas say about it:

And attached are the wildlife possibilities as of today ... with still two months of blooming yet to go.
No spots as S. dubia dubia. I have encountered these many times before but discounted as perhaps young or female SDD.
