Gm. Hooked buttercup (Ranuncus recurvatus) is abundant in damp Appalachian soil where it thwarts the local deer with an oil called ranunculin. When chewed, this chemical breaks down into protoanemonin which causes stomach pain, and burning and blistering of the mouth.

Gm. Common whitetail skimmer (Plathemis lydia) resting on a stony path. Although this immature male is somewhat camouflaged here, you can still observe the black bands on his translucent wings.

“Can you turn the lights down? I want to show you something.”

Gm. British soldier lichen (Cladonia cristatella) blankets the shingles on the roof of an old sawmill.

Gm. Sweet white violet (Viola blanda) along a trail, with simple veined petals appearing like purple stitches in a bright white cloak.
