I am fascinated by these colors. Among the yellow lichen Polycaulonia polycarpa and gray-green lichen Physcia dubia probably, you can see the tiny pink fungus Illosporiopsis christiansenii, which parasitizes the lichen. I photographed all this on a blackthorn tree (Prunus spinosa) while tasting the blue fruits, which were now frozen and therefore sweet.

In the macro photograph, the twig is completely covered with gray-green and yellow lichen. In addition to the usual wavy surfaces, the yellow lichen also has round, tiny cups. Roughly halfway up the vertical photograph, a small pink lump protrudes from the lichen surfaces, which is a parasitic fungus. The background behind the twig is a blurred gray and brown color.

It's been Monarch Mania around here lately! The most activity I have ever seen in the yard. Of course they're flocking to the meadow blazing stars (Liatris ligulistylis). #butterfly #butterflies #Lepidoptera #nativeplants #Illinois #nature #macro #photography #SaveTheMonarch
