I peeked into the small bayhead in one corner of the preserve to see whether the Habenaria floribunda were coming up. They were..
However, when I turned around to look at the fence line I spotted what I hope is only the beginning of a Lydodium infestation. I have plans to go back with some bags to see if I can collect it before it takes over.
This is the first time I've seen this pest plant here, though a couple of years ago I did observe a Lygodium Defoliator Moth at my light in another section of the preserve and was wondering how far it had flown from its host plant.
