I may be wrong but I think this is a picture of a wild cucumber

It's a land urchin.

I enjoy the idea of land urchins walking amongst us.

According to links I found it's a Bur or Wild Cucumber, or Echinocystis lobata.

Handy to have if you find yourself needing to make doll underwear:

I counted six when I took it, seven after the fact. Not sure how the extra frog got in there.

Could be an eighth frog in the moss.

garrett and I counted eight -- stretched some. Great puzzle.
