You can tell by its shape and size
It's been eaten clean by the ants and the bugs
Providing sustenance despite its demise.

Photo originally taken: Oct 27, 2019
Explanation: This was such a cool find, but for some reason, I didn't have my real camera with me so it's an iPhone photo. At the risk of sounding like a commercial, I have since discovered the photo editing software Topaz (thanks, Susan) and was able to clean it up a little for the blog.
