 Mount Watatic, Wapack / Midstate Loop - Possible Bluebead Lily With Fly

 

A set of three leaved plants, with each leaf broad and oval, deeply lined down the center. The foreground plant has a stalk with two buds, and there is a fly sitting on one leaf, looking toward a fly on the other plant.

These plants may be Clintonia borealis, a common species in the Northeast, and a member of the Lily family, but usually noticed for its stalk with several bright blue (and poisonous) berries. Interestingly, or perhaps coincidentally, there are two flies on these plants, and they appear to be looking toward each other.
