Poison ivy, or Rhus radicans is a scourge to us buggers and herpers. It's itchy rash is the stuff childhood summer camp stories are made of.
So here's some pictures of poison ivy to help you stay away from it when you're out in the feild.
We're all very aware of the old 'leaves of 3' saying, and while this is accurate quite a bit of the time there are many plants that look similars.
Poison ivy is most easily distinguished by three leaves centered around a red stem in the center.
One leaf always has a longer stem than the other
