Thanks, Keith. I agree that though it looks like an apple it is not. All of the vegetation in the area was destroyed by Ian so I will never know for sure unless and until I see another one 🙂

Your comment brought to mind “pond apples.” A search, however, revealed that they are yellow when ripe.

with love, artie

Typically they are above the water and the outer casing protecting the petals is reddish. An apple is a good idea, but on close inspection it would have to be an oddly shaped apple. And if it were an apple wedge, the flesh of the apple isn’t visible. As to the bugs, leave them, just nature in action.
