8-5 Hairy Bush Clover, Wild Cucumber,Shining Sumac larvae and fecal shield

 8-5

Hairy Bush Clover is a rare native species found in dry open places and along roadsides.


Wild Cucumber, also native, favors streambanks and moist thickets.




 On Dwarf, AKA Shining, Sumac larvae of beetles scientifically known as Blepharida rhois construct rather messy, but effective, fecal shields.
