Adkins Mystery Monday: Found in Wet Leaves on the Forest Floor?

April 12, 2021 by Adkins Arboretum

Happy Mystery Monday! We found this little one stuck to some wet leaves on the forest floor. After some help drying off, it happily flew away. What is it?

Last week, we asked you about the flowers of the native Pachysandra (Pachysandra procumbens)! This early flowering native groundcover is semi-evergreen to evergreen depending on where you plant it.
