Garner State Park, Donovan trail

Found along Longview Park trails, close to back side of houses.

Edge of Quercus fusiformis woodland

Scoured limestone slab with Clematis texensis & Phyllanthopsis phyllanthoides

About 8mm long.

after seeing it at first location, was able to find it along the roadside at a roadcut; colony-forming.

visitor to my yard

Noticed movement in the parking lot of the winery. Was able to get pics and capture. Released after about 2-3 minutes. Identified another specimen in a pile of wood, but was not able to get any pics

Big Bend National Park, Emory Peak Trail

Found by someone in our group - this may be a repeat observation

Both individuals

N.O. Buttonbush

Found on sidewalk behind TPWD headquarters.

Observed crossing the trail.

It was calmly crossing the long pedestrian bridge across the Trinity River in River Legacy Park. We were about 20 feet from the bridge, and it was coming straight toward us all the time.

I knew there was something special about this grass like plant that popped up in the garden this year.

Approx 100 all around this pond.

will likely get mowed down soon.
