I keep finding decapitated beetle heads, this time I found the body as well (thumb for scale). Do they just fall off by themselves, or is there some weird bug serial killer out there?
I have this freestanding shrub in the middle of my lawn with these extremely pretty berries in fall. Google and my mother insist it's Bittersweet and I need to destroy it before it climbs all over everything and destroys the New England forests. But it isn't a vine, and isn't climbing anything, and it doesn't seem to be trying to spread at all...
Murder, or not-murder?
(I also have actual bittersweet vine climbing mighty trees, smothering them, and dragging them down like wolves on an elk)
Psychedelic caterpillar! Almost didn't see it because I was paying attention to another caterpillar.
