Field Notes

Description:

Although there are bugs in the photos (stink bug nymphs), the focus of this spotting is the plant. This small shrub produces small round seeds, covered with a sticky, glue like substance that allows it to stick (of course...) on the bodies of passing animals os birds. This way, the seeds can spread over a much wider area. Unfortunately for small critters like these nymphs, these seeds become a deadly trap from which they can't escape...
