I have found a couple vines of Japanese climbing fern among the Makino's holly fern along the back of my garage. It is the viney one in the foreground with non-fern-like leaves. This plant is extremely invasive in the eastern US.
On April 28, 2014, the small leaflets on the top end of the fern were visible above the more conventional looking stately maiden fern below it.
