Red-spotted Purple Butterfly

Limenitis arthemis astyanax

As an evolutionary defense mechanism against predators, this nonpoisonous species mimics the poisonous pipevine swallowtail butterfly in appearance, with which it usually shares the same geographical area. It is a great example of batesian mimicry.

Strobilomyces sp.

This shaggy, dusky mushroom is in the bolete family and can be hard to find because it often blends in with leaf litter or pinecones.
