Spotted Knapweed On Trail
I didn't see Knapweed anywhere else - I wonder if this is a human transported plant. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2024 to 2005 > Shuswap Camping > Spotted Knapweed On Trail

Cabbage Whites Mating On Seed Head
Not moths - their antenna aren't feathery. This is a male and female mating. Cabbage White's are an invasive (and very plentiful) species. Species: Pieris rapae (Cabbage White)

Ivy Leaved Cyclamen
This is an interesting plant. It's an invasive here - it likes to live in the same space as Garry Oak trees which are most threatened (and smallest) ecosystem in BC. This plant is a large tuber that flowers in the fall - you can buy it at Gardenworks. The small varigrated leaf on the ground in front of the left most flower is a plant leaf (the flowers come up first). The leaf in the background is a from a Rhododendron. Species: Cyclamen hederifolium

Cabbage White Feeding On Flower
I'm still learning to take photos of butterflies - I always figured these white things were moths but I was wrong. These two were very active (chasing each other it seemed) and were very particular about which flowers they fed on. Species: Pieris rapae (Cabbage White)

Irises By Beaver Lake
More of what you are seeing here is invasive. The Yellow Iris's (Yellow Flag Iris) block out cattails that should be growing here. Most of the lilies you see are fragrant water lily - again invasive. The native lilies are yellow. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2024 to 2005 > 06_2006 > Irises By Beaver Lake

Stonecrop Growing In Rock
These stonecrop were growing in the rock really close to the ocean. I was impressed how good they looked - they didn't look like they had been stepped on or eaten. Looking at the results on iNaturalist, this is an invasive species. Tags: rock
Species: Sedum album (White Stonecrop)

Green Frog Peaking From Algae
I think the gold flecks in their eyes are pretty cool. Species: Lithobates clamitans (Green Frog)

Green Frog Half Submerged
At first I thought this was a bullfrog, but they were generally too small to be bullfrogs. The folds on their back helps distinguish them from bullfrogs. Species: Lithobates clamitans (Green Frog)

Bullfrog Covered In Bugs
Only when you look at the detail do you see the hundreds of smaller bugs on the frog and leaves. I'm guessing they can't bite the frog or else the frog would have gone crazy by now. Species: Rana catesbeiana (American Bullfrog)

Bullfrog Floating In Pond
