Sticky Situation

WILD or WHACKY?
Strands of a silky substance are connecting the burrs which are themselves rather sticky. I guess that could be considered a double whammy or a very sticky situation.  Wild life offers us many interesting webs to unravel. Our curiosity can lead us to seek out some fascinating facts. What creature left it's silky strands on this plant? Why? Is it possible to figure out the season from the photo?

  1. Do you think it is summer? This is a pretty good picture.

  2. I think it's spider webs. But I could be wrong, of course.

  3. Hi Heidi, I've seen those burrs before.... I think I see them in late summer. The web looks like a spider web--but I'm not sure... I'll wait to hear your explanation.

    Hope you are getting some pretty Fall colors up there.

    Hugs,
    Betsy

  5. Spider webs after the summer and moving into late autumn, I'd say, Kleinstemotte. It sounds as though you might know the answer. Do you?
