7-29 Pinesaps, Three Bird Orchid Dogday Harvest Fly

7-29

Pinesaps, a native species found in pine and oak woods, once classified as saprophytes are now known to be micro-heterotrophs (taking nutrients from fungal filaments).  


Also native and extremely rare in Vermont, Three Bird Orchids are also starting their flowering.


    And a Dogday Harvest Fly, perhaps Neotibicen tibicen australis, the Swamp Cicada.
