No idea how to tell the difference between Hercules Club (Zanthoxylum clava-herculis) and Prickly Ash (Zanthoxylum hirsutum) - I found this in KEW Science - Plants of the World Online - "Zanthoxylum hirsutum Buckley
This is a synonym of Zanthoxylum clava-herculis subsp. fruticosum (A.Gray) Reynel"

Day # 4 - ECRTMN Weekly "Let's Get Outside!" activity suggestion: Make at least one iNat observation every day.
Good or bad, this grass population is increasing in the open area between the yard fence and the stock tank.

My wife, Cheryl, was working out in our yard and found this caterpillar in the leaf litter under a Redbud tree. Inat ID algorithm suggests Henry's Elfin. I know that one of the host plants of that species is Redbud and in past years I have found adults in that same tree. I'll go with that ID unbless/until someone says different. Thanks. Images show the caterpillar on the end of the finger of a leather glove
