It grows on my Cedar trees during long rainy spells.
It's been raining for 8 days now, this has been visible for 3 days.
It disappears as soon as the sun comes out.
I know it has a long Latin name.
Is it related to the fungus that causes trouble with Apples?

Whatever it is its disgusting!
Yes. It's cedar apple rust. Gynmosporangium juniperi-virginianae. It doesn't spread from Juniper to Juniper, or Apple to Apple, but alternates between the two. Keep Apple trees 100 yards from the Cedar.
Thanks a lot Billy.
Too late for the Apple tree. But it it a resistant MacFree, no problem for 15 years.
My neighbor is thinking about getting an Apple, I'll have to tell him.
Thanks again.

Thank Orthos Home Gardner's Problem Solver. But I did look it up, so you're welcome.
This is what it looks like after a few hours on sun.
(Yes, the sun came out today!!!!)

It looks like a mutant June Bug! LOL!
That' snot nice! LOL
It's still disgusting, no matter what you do to it!
It looks like something that was in a monster movie I saw. I am not sure I'd want that in my garden. It might eat you alive.
