While someone on "name that plant" took a stab at it, I'm not convinced they have this correct. I'm really wondering if this has benefits to wildlife/pollinators... is it invasive ? Any information. Thank you so much.

Hello, this has been growing for weeks now. I was intrigued by it and so left it alone. It's now quite large (maybe 4 feet). I wondered if anyone knew anything about it. I appreciate your time and consideration. Here are the pictures:

I can't help you with it's real name, (I have my own for it that can't be put on here) but yes it's invasive. Grows large quickly and smells when you touch it. I am constantly mowing them on my property and they keep coming back.

Looks like dog fennel to me.

The information I've gotten so far is that it is invasive and fairly useless to wildlife so it's going.

I really appreciate the help, thank you so much everyone.
