Poison Ivy in Spring
Like many spring leaves, poison ivy leaves start
out bright red, which seems to fend off insects.
Keep in mind that new leaves can always be reddish even when they
sprout in mid summer.
I've rarely seen poison ivy attacked by any visible insect, although
occasionally I've seen leaves affected by what looks like a fungus.
If there is an insect that liked to eat poison ivy it should be
thriving, and also awarded the Nobel Prize.
