Southern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys volans)Observer
stevecollinsDescription
I found this Southern Flying Squirrel in the park across from my work this afternoon. I was astonished, since I had only seen flying squirrels twice before, and I certainly didn't expect to find one on the ground at 3 in the afternoon. And certainly not in a fairly urban park. At first it was wary, but then was fearless. I suspect it may have been sick or starving or both. It ate a tent caterpillar while I watched and foraged through debris piles, picking out various leaves and sticks. Amazing!

prasannaparabDescription
Bamboo Pit Viper (Trimeresurus gramineus Shaw, 1802).
Habitat: It is found in bamboo groves and forests, usually near streams.
The range of this species has been restricted to southern India. It is also rarely seen near Harishchandragad and some other mountain ranges of Western Ghats aka Sahyadris in Maharashtra.
SURPRISED TO SEE SUCH A CASUAL YAWN, THANKS TO OUR CAMERAS THESE DAYS, THEY HAPPEN TO HELP IN SUCH MOMENTS, TAKEN WITH CANON 100-400MM SO HAD PROBLEMS WITH DEPTH OF FIELD.

Roses (Genus Rosa)Observer
fmoretzsohnDescription
I bought a bunch of "tie-dye" roses from the local HEB supermarket in Corpus Christi.
This is a cultivated flower that was produced somewhere in Texas. I did not write down the provenance of the flowers but it is likely the same farm that produces other roses for this store.
This was the only time I saw these on sale. I have seen photos on the internet. Although not a wild flower, I though some of you might enjoy it.
These photos were not Photoshopped. The roses were cultivated and a dye was incorporated in the flower as it grew. It was very well done. Surprisingly, the roses were only a little more expensive than regular roses.
