Those are MUCH smaller.

It's too bad I was too late to see any butterflies - there's always next year...
Thank you

(1,901 posts)12. Yeah, I know what you mean.
"Whoa! Don't walk through there - It's all poison ivy", said the stranger as I was about to walk back through an open glade to my car. A little late, I thought as a feeling of dread engulfed me.

I never heard of Knicker nut, but since it is a coastal swamp plant that makes sense

(30,090 posts)15. I've never heard of a knicker nut
but it has the same sounding pain as a cockle burr. I haven't spent much time in swamp land, but I'll bet the flora is wild.
