**Brian Stone shares is a real packet of interesting photos. One is
of the not commonly seen PICKEREL FROG, a close-up of WHIRLIGIG BEETLES as they
ride the surface tension of the water, a HARVESTMAN which is a spider relative,
a BULLFROG, a very small AMERICAN TOAD which would be a young of the year as the
American toad does its transformation from tadpole to toad at this time of year.
Also included are two photos of a PAINTED TURTLE and the SPINDLE-SHAPED YELLOW
CORAL MUSHROOM, a common one in the woods at the moment. POWDERED DANCER
DAMSELFLY, GROUNDNUT AKA INDIAN POTATO, in flower. Groundnut produces a tasty
underground tuber that was a significant food source to early native
people.
