elijahkovac's Identifications

This type of fern was found on the trunk of a giant oak tree. Each frond ranged from 2 inches to about 6 inches in length. They were bright green in color. Pairs of opposite lobes are aligned asymmetrically, rather than directly opposite from each other on each frond, which is a common characteristic for these ferns. They are found throughout much of the Southeastern US, and they will always be found attached to a host. They can survive severe droughts, which allows them to be found in both moist and dry habitats.

It was partly cloudy and a little breezy outside. The snake came from the bushes and went across my friends shoe. Then it stopped and looked at us. It was by the water and so I thought it would be a water snake. I identified to Colubrid because it did not look venomous.
