“I’m ready for my close up Mr. Demille”

Here’s a few from the Davis mountains last week.
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…
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.
Speaking of photogenic birds….
Once again just as i dreamed!! Was able to get this Baird’s sparrow with perfect background in Davis mountains today!! (Note: early April Fools dad joke!)
