In addition to birds, photography of insects has greatly enhanced my NEDs (nature exploration days)!!
Was pleased to find 6 examples of my favorite beetle yesterday!

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.
I enjoyed the sunrise at Cedar point on Lake Buchanan yesterday and with the approaching Festivus season (“the festivus for the rest of us”) it was nice to find many of these beautiful Axarus festivus (as I’m told by iNat) a variety of midge.
I was also very impressed with night crickets going to town at several locations on my walk!!!!!
If there’s Crane Flies it must be spring!
You gotta love a woman who responds with a huge enthusiastic grin, gets her shoes on, and follows you outside when you say “We have dung beetles!!!!”!! We were delighted to see 3 of these little dudes rolling their business at our place near Fort Davis!!!
