Malibu Lagoon
This guy had washed up and a gull was nearby so he puffed himself up. I kept scaring the gull away and I think this guy was able to get back in the water as the tide was going up.

Taken on monthly group walk on the Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Refuge owned by Hill Country Conservancy.
This is the first time I've observed one of the "hanging thieves" robber flies on the preserve. I've only ever seen them before in Gonzales.

In a graveyard. After a heavy rain, one of the graves that was sunken had quite a bit of water in it and among the toads there was an solitary one that had a huge TICK attached to its neck, and two much smaller TICKS can be seen on his left side.

Roy E. Larsen Sandyland Sanctuary. I was hoping to find a Zebra Swallowtail this trip and this park was the first stop on my first ever trip to deep east Texas. A 2 hour evening stroll through the park turned up 20 individuals. They were mostly nectaring on Rubus (Dewberry) in the uplands and some species of Mustard in the bottomlands. Larvae feed on Asimina (Pawpaw) in the Annonaceae family.

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.

Termite construction site and interactions with their predators
After good summer rains these Termites are seen constructing ventilation shafts to their large underground chambers. At their interface to the outside world, they are predated upon by an assembly of spiders beetles and ants. The area around the termite constructions is dominated by Pugnacious Ants, making close observation an unpleasant, even daunting exercise, but one is rewarded with sightings of an assortment of termitophagous spiders that are not often seen elsewhere.

Images 1-3 show the Termites at work and their construction site.
Image 4 shows Pugnacious Ants ripping a captured Termite apart.
Images 5 and 6 show a Termite turning the tables on an Ant, with other termites joining the fray.

Lagarto-de-Chifres-Curtos (Phrynosoma hernandesi)Observador
nmwendyDescrição
Filmed 7/12/14 in Tyrone, NM. I have video and stills of this mother lizard and several of her newborns. Look closely, this first photo has both mother and baby. She must have delivered over two dozen. When I first saw her I thought, what a fat horned toad (sorry, very old habit) then I noticed movement around her as several babies were in the process of scampering away. I had time to run home for a camera and still capture the birth of at least a dozen more. Truly amazing. They couldn’t have been much bigger than the tip of my little finger at birth and within minutes were all puffed up and ready to run.
