whats this?
« on: January 28, 2011, 06:22:56 pm »
 



i found this on the back of a leaf while i was deer hunting this year. it happened to be the coldest day of the year thus far and the bright green caught my eye. looked like a web maybe covering a bug or something. i didnt tear it open to see, not sure why i didnt?

i did bring it home but then forgot about it until i seen the pic.

It would however make a dandy tool for smashing that big cocoon next to it.

Upon considerable examination, it isn't just a thumb.  It is a left thumb.  :P

The left thumb is holding what resembles a dogwood leaf.  Something wrong with it though, got a green spot  on it. ;)

I was going to disagree and say it might be a right thumb, but after carefully looking at the photo...I too concur it to be a left thumb...I should have never doubted Tom anyway...I am so ashamed... ::) ::) :-[  I believe I would put that leaf in the heater..it might cause cancer in labaratory rats in California...Tim

The caption of the picture would read' "Left Thumb on a Cornus florida".  It would win numerous awards.

A subtitle would be, "with a fuzzy little green thing attached."

I wish the picture were clearer because something tells me that this is a gall rather than a cocoon, though it might contain an insect.

I think the question is, do they have thumbs.

If its an in seine, then it is used in the boat to catch all the spilled minnows.  If it is an out seine, then it is used outside the boat to catch the minnows in the first place.  I hear that the seine originated many centuries ago in Gaul.

As far as I know, leafs are bad to plug up the out seine, but not so bad on the in seine.

Wasn't Leif, Erik's boy?  I'll bet he was the one that discovered swamp donkeys.  I believe he probably used in seine's in the search for Vinland.  There were a lot of grapes there.  Grape leaves get those little fuzzy things under them too.  I still think they might be galls. 

Leif's daddy, Erik, came to Greenland (see, there's that word again) from areas around Scotland.  That was Gaul. Maybe he brought them with him?

There is Green land and there is Scot land.  Gall land is for people with galls.  No galls for the Boss, so he must be from In-Seine land.  It is located just Nord of Mici land where the saning lakes are.
