Plant of the Day

Sunday 4 August 2024

On the edge of a carpark there was this impressive stand of Chamaenerion angustifolium (rosebay willowherb, bay willow, blooming willow, burntweed, fireweed, moose tongue, Persian willow, wickup). This is a rhizomatous, strongly-spreading perennial that forms dense colonies. The spikes of purplish-pink flowers are followed by long pink-tinged seed pods containing seeds in silky plumes.

🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠

Lionfish have established themselves as significant invasive species off the East Coast of the United States and in the Caribbean. adult lionfish have few identified natural predators, likely due to the effectiveness of their venomous spines: when threatened, a lionfish will orient its body to keep its dorsal fin pointed at the predator, even if this means swimming upsidedown.

Chinese mantis (Tenodera sinensis)

9/10/24. Calvin R. Kiracofe Prairie, OH.

Chinese mantises are an invasive species in the U.S.

Mantises are ambush predators that snatch wandering prey and slowly eat them alive.

Female mantises sometimes eat the male after mating, though this mostly happens in captivity. In the wild, the male usually has time to escape before she eats him.
