Description
Black Cohosh grows nicely in our woods and provides a mini environment for a host of small insects and arachnids throughout it's growing season. Now, in Autumn, it provides structure for little spiders to build their capture webs. I like the detail on the seed pods.
Common Names: black cohosh, black snakeroot, macrotys, bugbane, bugwort, rattleroot, rattle weed
Black Cohosh is native to eastern North America and grows happily in the partial shade of rich woodland soils. It's been said to have medicinal properties but no studies have reliably proven the benefits. There seems to be no harm in taking it unless you buy commercial supplements which have been connected to liver damage and some other nasty side effects. These side effects seem to come from the mixtures in the supplements, not necessarily the Black Cohosh. Caution, people, when using commercial Black Cohosh as other herbs are sometimes mixed in and do not appear on the label.
This picture was taken in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, USA, on October 16, 2016. I used my Canon T4i with a Tamron 90 mm macro lens.

Thank you, Denise! I tend to love all things in the woods but some others aren't as enthused about some things (like spiders and seed pods - LOL). I'm so glad you like this!

Great image, Carol!
Carol Senske replied:
You brought a smile to my face, Hugh - thank you. I'm comfortable with plants, animals, bugs, and sometimes landscapes, but I'm preparing for a "people" shoot next Sunday. I feel rather nervous about it because I don't do people! It's my neighbor and her two daughters that twisted my arm and I agreed. I just hope I do a good job and give them a lot of nice pictures that they love. Thank you of coming by to comment - much appreciated, as I hope you know:>)
