I love this photo! I'm not sure about it being Oxydia sp., though. Did you try comparing it to Automeris? Posted 2 years ago

    Also, if you want to ID the plant, it *might* be Urochloa eminii. Eriochloa sp. is also similar. Posted 2 years ago

      You're a wizard. Switched the ID because the grass is new to JD. Posted 2 years ago
