Okay, so it’s fauna, not flora. But it’s a rainy, gloomy Monday and I thought this critter would cheer me up.
These things are highly poisonous to dogs that attempt to chow down on them, so we relocate them to a vacant lot or forest preserve. Fortunately we’ve only seen a handful in the 18 years we’ve lived here. Trying to get this one to pose wasn’t easy. Hence the hands in the shot.
