Pinesaps, Thin-leaved Sunflower, Nodding Pogonia, Dogday Harvest fly husk

Either pine or oak woods are home to Pinesaps, AKA False Beechdrops.

Thin-leaved sunflowers inhabit thickets and wood lots.

Nodding Pogonia, AKA Three Birds, grows in rich woods often in association with Beech.

The nymphal husk of Dog-day Harvest flies (our cicadas) hang abandoned. The high pitched song of the adult fly can be heard from the tree tops. John
