8-7 Dwarf Sumac

 8-7

Dwarf, AKA Shining, Sumac is a shrub of dry fields and edges.

Tall Rattlesnake Root, AKA Gall-of-the-earth, is common in woods and thickets.

One of the large Carpenter Bees was active today. The shiny black abdomens of these Carpenter bees make them easy to tell from the hairier bumblebees.
