Field Notes

Description:

It is not as squat as it looks...probably tensed up when I handled the leaf. Regularly spaced prominent white spots (and black ones). Hairy.

Habitat:

Grass and weeds on the edge of a waterbody near my home. Urban residential area.

Notes:

I am hoping the white spots will help someone to ID it for me.
