Creepers are Lurking

Parthenocissus quinquefolia.

 

Or the Virginia Creeper.  Whichever one you prefer.  I made this post bolder, because that it what this plant is.  People don't realize that this plant is not only very ugly looking, but its berries are toxic and poisonous.  To point out this plant, look for the 5 leafs around the stem.  It can grow on walls, poles, pretty much anything.  Growing to about 3 centimeters, this little guy can pack a punch if you are not careful.  We got this outside of my backyard, near a forest.  Check it out!
