Gnats anyone?

And here are some additional pix from Davis Mountains in August 2023.
Welcome to B3 — Be a Better Beetle!! I’ve been trying to catch one of these guys for 2 years out in Davis Mountains!! Finally nabbed one with a butterfly net. Photographed and released. They are super swift and maneuverable!! I believe it’s called an Emerald Euphoria, which is such a great name for these…
Bugs are cool too!! But small. This is some type of Robber Fly.
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.
2 things bringing me joy on morning walk this morning 1) bees swarming all over a flowering bush, 2) upland sandpipers calling overhead come down from points north (u won’t find then in the pix, it’s just for symbolic purposes)
