| The link might help some one ID it better for you. Could you tell us what plant it's on? |

| Looks like a crushed spider to me. |

| It is bigger today then it was yesterday. I guess I will just cut off the leaf. I wish I could take a better photo of it. It almost looks like veins in the center part and I could swear i saw it "pulsing" It does kind of like a spider, but it more looks like a wierd plant growing on the leaf. |

| You should cut it off, stick it in a jar with holes in the top and see what it does...weird. |

| That was a good idea. I cut off the leaf today. Whatever it is, it is definitely alive. It is hard to tell from a photo, but the center area on top of it is like some kind of gel. It looks like hair gel. And like a fool I touched it when i was putting it in the jar and it made some kind of screechy noise and made my finger feel like i put it on a hot stove, but it did not leave a mark. I might take it to my county extension office too. I am going to try to borrow my neighbors really nice camera to take a really close up photo. It is unlike anything I have ever seem. There are definite vein like things on it and every now and again it "pulses", but i need a really nice camera so it can be seen. |

just an update. I have it in my garage and it is about the same as it was outside. I am going to take it to the Ext. office next week to see if they can tell me. My neighbor who knows a lot, said he has never seen this before. I am kind of excited to see what it is.
It might be some sort of wierd spider I guess, as there is a pod like thing coming out of it, but the "gel" stuff is so thick I can't tell. My guess is that the pod thing might actually be the body of the spider or whatever it is. It has to be some sort of bug I guess, but parts of it do look like a plant. Who knows. |

| Please do let us know and get another picture...I am very curious/anxious now... |
Re:RE: What is this

I did a google search for your weird plant/insect and found this...too funny, so I thought I would share.
Carrot? |

| I would be extremely careful. It looks disturbingly like the creature from the "Alien" movie. 
|
RE: What is this

| A male carrot apparently :-) |
RE: What is this
| | |
| Well, anything yet? Did it "hatch"? |
RE: What is this
| | |
| It might be a spider that has been overtaken (the poor!) by a slimy (gel-ly) fungus? Or is infested with some disease. By and large, I'm on the side of the spiders, but life is tough out there! Eileen |
