Bayberries (Myrica pensylvanica)

In this close up view of bayberries you can clearly see a whitish waxy coating. Bayberries are boiled to melt this wax for use in bayberry scented candles. One of the berries has been nibbled by a herbivore, most likely a insect. You can see from the nibbled surface how the wax forms a layer across the surface. Clearly the berry was distasteful to the (presumed) insect that was eating it as only a small portion of a small berry was devoured. Yellow-rumped Wablers swallow the berries whole and are then able to extract nutrition from them while distributing the seeds of the plant.
