That's POKE WEED! When less than 8 inches tall, it's edible, and delicious, BUT you need to leach it first. Otherwise TOXIC!
I grew up eating it. :)
Thanks to my friend, Van Russel, for this pic! He wanted this uploaded.
WOW! Beautiful Blonde tarantula! GREAT pic!
This is what I like about this particular area of Texas.... The Bio-diversity! We have Coral snakes Eastern Coachwhips, Copperheads, and about 20 miles east of my home, Alligators, and Cottonmouths. All from the eastern U.S.
THEN we have Bark Scorpions, Western Diamondbacks, Brown Tarantulas, Rhinochelius (Long-nosed snakes), Western Hog-Nose snakes, Western Massasaugas, Black tailed rattlers, Tortoises, Pepsis wasps, etc. All from the western U.S.
After scorching, mashing, steeping, and proper straining, These make an EXCELLENT summer drink. Delicious!
Absolutely one of the most gorgeous C.atrox, I've ever seen!
