Large walking stick…longer than an iPhone clinging to the window all day. It moved elsewhere during the night for it was gone the next morning.
The sun was out this afternoon and it was definitely warmer than this morning! I enjoyed walking through this prairie at Hickory Creek Preserve.
Two different color types of this beetle. Pretty awesome
I was able to sneak in a little bit of blacklighting in between some rain here in Aurora! Some neat things showed up to the lights!
They were emerging everywhere that day. This one landed next to me so close to my that i just held cell phone down right next to it.
Had a nice day today with my parents!
What a wonderful evening at Trinity River Audubon Center with fellow naturalists! We documented quite a few nocturnal critters that came to our blacklights. :)
Went over to Cabler Park in Brownsville -- this is a surprisingly cool park with lots of really neat plants. Several harvester ant nests, and I could have sworn I spotted a horned lizard! It disappeared before I could find it though...
Had such a magnificent time at Little L Ranch with lots of master naturalists. We did some blacklighting on this evening, and loads of cool critters showed up! Still working on some ID's for these...
Had a really nice evening at Tandy Hills doing some blacklighting! Several really neat bugs showed up. :)

Had a great morning with the City of Dallas staff -- we chatted a bunch about the challenges of managing White Rock Lake.
What is this Frankenstein plant? Looks like a cross between G. pulchella and G. aestivalis
This was one of my favorite parts of the camp -- north of the biodiversity park. Several jebels (hills) here, and lots of neat critters and plants. Spooked the fox here too! :)

At lunch, I went over to Thora Hart Park in Arlington -- nice deep sands here. A bit windy and chilly, but some bugs were still out! :)

Was feeling quite tired this afternoon, and the kids were in school, so I went over to the lake just by myself to take it easy. Enjoyed some quiet time! :)
