Sorry no spoilers........ Somebody will get it.....

#10 - Fri Nov 12, 2010 9:19 AM ESTIt looks like the seeds from inside the pod of a plant that is something like a milk weed but it is a vine. I don't know the name of the plant but the pods often look like little green birds.
#13 - Fri Nov 12, 2010 9:31 AM ESTYes, the thing that makes 'santa clauses', those starry floating parachutes, is in fact the milkweed plant. Monarch feeding station.

#16 - Fri Nov 12, 2010 10:08 PM ESTOkay, what is it? My guess is milkweed--of course, I had help and you didn't respond to those responses...it really helped that you told it was on a glass table, because the second photo really looked like a fish in water =)

#19 - Sun Nov 14, 2010 5:43 PM ESTNext summer, late. Find a field where there are Milkweeds growing. There are pods on the milkweed plants, which when they are mature, split open, to release these seeds that float in the wind on gossimer parachutes. If you split open one of these seed pods, before it matures, it looks like the picture. A core of wet white stuff with the seeds covering it like scales. As it dries, the core will fluff out by itself and the seeds will seperate just the way they do from a mature pod..
