Amur Maple (Acer ginnala)Observer
hikingplantsohDescription
Is this a hybrid? From a distance I assumed sugar maple because most leaves were yellow but upon closer inspection the leaf shape is odd and there’s some red coloration. Very large old tree that I assume pre-dates the neighborhood. I estimate DBH to be upwards of 6’.

hypanartiaDescription
This is the first caterpillar of Polygonia progne I ever saw in Maryland, and the only one in such an advanced stage of development (kind of worrisome). The first photo shows the typical way this species eat the plant's leaves, leaving only the steams, and from top of the branch to the bottom

First spotted from the visitor center overlook. The last two pictures are after they took off, they're kind of hard to see but they're circling on thermals.
