iNat AI thinks this is G. hispida. It does look like G. hispida but the leaves are ovate here. Does G. hispida have ovate-to-lanceolate heteroblasty?

"Hedera hibernica is the more prevalent of the two species of Hedera naturalised in Victoria.
Hedera hibernica differs from H. helix in the leaves usually being lobed < 1/2 way to the base with lobes often as wide as long .... and the hairs on young leaves and young stems in vegetative shoots stellate, generally sessile, the central part occupying 1/6–1/3 of the diameter, hairs often pale yellowish brown, sometimes white or off-white, or orange or tan in the centre with rays mostly white or off-white, or indumentum a mixture of these colours"

Seedlings in a small artificial pond in the reserve.
ID tentative.
Note the stellate indumentum on the petioles and abaxial laminal surface, which suggests Hedera helix rather than the commoner species naturalised in Victoria, Hedera hibernica.

Update:
I found several of these at Cedar Bog again this year. The last one might be Hexatoma brevicornis, so if you have expertise, please D.

Note: I have photographed this Hexatomini at Cedar Bog in Champaign County, Ohio for at least 17 years. Always in the same area.
I've added two other observations; one from back in 2004.

2nd photo is stalk with paving-like structure, and 3rd photo is spherical spores. Last photo is the 'slugs' tranforming into fruitbodies. They are eating a yellow bacterium.
It has dextrinoid spores, not mentioned in the literature, but then people don't often mount myxos in melzers reagent.
