Question
Seen 9/13/19 in Killingworth CT. Looking for an identification.
Answer
Dear Annemcnulty, the plant you have photographed is Cicuta maculata (spotted water-hemlock), a native, wetland species of the celery family. If you look closely, you can see many of the veins of the leaf segments traveling from the midrib to the sinuses between the teeth (normally, veins run prominently to the teeth, not the sinuses). Best wishes.
