A tangled clump of garlic mustard, buckthorn, black swallow-wort, and Norway maple that I decided to attack today.

Disgusting substance of the day: Wet autumn leaves that have been marinating in a garbage bag since October 2006.

On this day in 365 urban species: Crane fly, that harmless insect that resembles a giant mosquito and scares the heck out of some people. The comments to this post are very interesting, with a discussion of regional common names and folk entomology.
