April 19, 2015. Seed Pod Predation and Herbivory.

"I apologize for my lack of updates lately. Between the end of semester, finals and starting my new job, I have fallen a bit behind on staying on top of this. I have still been making my weekly checkups on A. kelseyae and have some pics and information. However, there haven't been much changes lately. I went up last week, and the pods still haven't begun to open up. I did find evidence of both herbivory and seed pod predation, though and there are pictures attached. I have some other ideas and info I will follow up with later this weekend."

Pods are getting bigger!

A bug is eating this flower.

A view of the rhizome, looks like it goes down deep.

The life of A. kelseyae is a tough one.
