Field Notes

Description:

This Jack-In-The Pulpit wildflower could not have been given a better name, for it looks like a little minister in a pulpit about to preach a sermon. Though he looks like a minister, he is actually a murderer, for he catches insects which can not climb out the slippery pulpit.
