Ok, it’s insect time. Here’s one of my top 3 insects — White-lined Sphinx. Found2 of these beauties at Lake Balmorhea.
Interestingly, my camera on pretty high speed seemed to be exactly coordinated with the wingbeats.
I always feel that these guys are mimicking hummingbirds to avoid predation.
Banana slug in Pac NW.
Bugs are cool too!! But small. This is some type of Robber Fly.
Our group in High Island really enjoyed this hatch of termites in Smith Oaks!! Brought in many passerines. I guess we spent 30 minutes watching.
Love these colorful, chunky grasshoppers in Davis Mountains this time of year. They’re called Plains Lubber Grasshoppers. Also a couple of young birds for someone to ID.
