A few days ago I posted some pictures of flowers in the group known as “Ephemera” and today am going to concentrate on what is perhaps the most widespread ephemeral species, the Trillium.
Ants collect the seed and take them to the nest where they eat the nutrient-rich eliasome and junk the seed. The seed very happily grows in what I have learned if an ant midden.
And they are not disappearing due to feral cats, which is endlessly being repeated over and over again in the media based on pathetic science involving three small colonies of cats in Maryland, totaling a grand number of 69 cats from which they extrapolated absurd numbers of bird kills. It's time for people to be more discriminating in their consumption of science as well as identifying bad science.
“Nay” another new word. Seems entomological so I should know it. Please explain.
