Mayfly commented on by drP Virginia, USA8 years ago

Thanks for the ID confirmation, luteum! I really appreciate it!

Red-cheeked salamander commented on by drP Townsend, Tennessee, USA9 years ago

The are awesome, indeed. I hope to get back to Tennessee one of these days.

Tiny bluet commented on by drP Louisiana, USA9 years ago

Thanks, metulippatch. This is one of my many favorites. When I see these in bloom, I know spring is on the way.

Thale Cress commented on by drP New York, USA9 years ago

Happy to help, ForestDragon. I hope to spot this myself one of these days!

Mayfly commented on by drP Virginia, USA9 years ago

Definitely crazy eyes. This is the only time I've seen a mayfly like this. If the bladdernut hadn't been in bloom, I'd have missed it.

Thanks, mpvettch.

So many flowers in the rose family look the same to me. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, multiflora roses... I definitely need other plant parts to make a reliable ID.

What a pretty spider!

Unknown spotting commented on by drP Wisconsin, USA9 years ago

It's something in the mustard family. I wouldn't be surprised if it has "cress" as part of it's name. Early winter cress, for example, is in bloom now.

If the three-lobed toothed leaves in the background are part of the plant, it looks like Virginia strawberry, Fragaria virginiana.
