Frequently asked nature questions

Q: Will this thing hurt me?
A: Probably not.

Q: What does it do?
A: It gathers energy from its environment and makes copies of itself.

Q: What is this thing good for?
A: It's a natural part of its ecosystem, creating balance through controlling other species and providing energy for yet other species that feed on it.

Q: How do I get rid of it?
A: By drastically altering your property or changing your behavior in a way that is unacceptably inconvenient to you. Even then it will probably come back.

But it may have escaped its natural ecosystem and invaded yours, in which case its probably trying to kill off everything else! (aka Swallow Wort, Garlic Mustard, and Japanese Knotweed)
