Invasive Showing Up In Bitterroot

[BigHornRam]

New invasive weed showing up in Bitterroot. Nasty little thing looks a little like a sandbur. Just found a couple in my yard while pulling weeds. Anyone know what this is?

App recommendation?

 

[Southern Elk]

It’s called Planto. It keeps trying to make me pay a subscription, but I’m able to use it without paying.

App recommendation?

Seek by iNaturalist, I've seen coworkers use it, haven't tried it yet but they recommended. Does animals too.

 

[beagle001]

Another vote for iNaturalist. Can do bugs, birds, plants, you name it

Pull one segment of the head off and you'll see how it gets the testiculatus name.

Been fighting this one at some of my sites. Kind of a booger to control.

Invasives have stepped up almost overnight. Yeah, everyone should have a 40' rv towing a sprinter van.
How about the alarming sighting on the interstate yesterday?....pontoon boat with twin 250's.

i use seek at work all the time when people call me to identify a plant i am not sure about.

I’ve been using one called PlantNet for plants. For birds, the Cornell University Merlin App is awesome. I’ve been playing with that app a ton lately.

That's the app I have. Just tried it and it said 40% chance that it is a bur buttercup. May have to try one of the other recommended plant id apps for better accuracy.

Ceratocephalus Testiculatus sounds like an STD... It can't be good!

I’ve noticed that it never seems to have high confidence in anything. But it always seems to get me on the right track. I’m gonna check out some of the other ones you guys mentioned too.

That's not simply a 40' rv, that is a toy-hauler rv, which means there is even more obnoxious shit stuffed inside it!
