Cameron County, Texas, US
Caterpillar of some variety
Milkweed Assassin Bug, Zelus longipes. I see this insect in all developmental stages in the gardens, in all weather and in every season. The specimen was photographed on the leaf of a Sweet Almond Verbena (Aloysia virgata), in the morning sun, with ambient temperature of 65°F. The photographs are unaltered (with apologies for the glare).
Larva feeding on rabbit-tobacco (Evax sp., probably E. prolifera).
Found in my yard, probably off of an oak.
Feeding only on Passion flower vine
Went around this Marine Creek Reservoir this morning to look for birds... Didn't see many birds, but I did spot some plants. :)
6-10 actively feeding in early morning.
Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor)
7 February 2015: Walked the Wetlands Trail during winter at the Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center (CCNHC) in Denton, Texas, and encountered a Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) that allowed us to get close enough to be able to take its digital image, Tufted Titmouse. The CCNHC is administered by the City of Denton, Texas.
