I am not sure what this is. Probably not a Luffa, but I assume it is the fibrous skeleton of some kind of fruit.

Missing LocationDescription
Very sad, a dead dried-out turtle nestling that was just lying on the path behind the cottages. Some distance from the sea.
I thought at first that it was a dead leaf.

Florida Hammock Sandmat (Euphorbia ophthalmica)Observer
susanhewittDescription
A waif, the seed for which that I believe came in with florists plants in pots from somewhere in the south.
I assume one plant delivered to the florist's shop must have had mature Florida Hammock Sandmat growing in it, and I also assume that one dropped seed, which got swept into the gutter during rain and then lodged here and grew.
The frosts killed it eventually.

Lema pubipesObserver
susanhewittDescription
There were two of these very nice beetles sitting on a Groundcherry plant, Physalis, which appears to be a Spoonleaf Groundcherry, a Physalis cinerascens var. spathulifolia.
The plant was growing next to the path through the dunes that runs between the condo complex and the beach at 3400 Gulf Blvd.
The two beetles were on the individual plant that is the subject of my previous observation.
