A Woodland Treat
June 10, 2018
Along one of the upland forest trails on our approach to Wing Island, we discovered a patch of bright red slime mold that had ALSO been discovered by a colony of ravenous woodlice (or pill bugs, rolly-poly bugs, potato bugs, and countless other names).
One of the Wiki pages has a list of names of these guys based on country. Some are pretty funny. My favorite is "monkey peas!" (Kent, England)
