    Pull the key out, make a wish and blow it away. All your childhood dreams will come true!

  • There is an app you can download and upload the photo and it'll tell you exactly what it is.

      • To be honest i couldn't tell whether it was a plant or some living organism, because it had sorta spider legs that had ants clung to it, I thought it could possible be that's how they catch their prey or something.

      • I knew it, it's weed :). Great links to identify plants.

  • White-tail spider?

    • Oh no, don't let it bite you or you'll get necrosis

    It is a Dandelion once the flower head has matured, it closes up and the withered flowers contract into a bud-like shape and fall away, leaving just the tufty white parts called pappi, which will help wind disperse the dandelion fruits or cypsela.
