Elizabeth and I went to west Texas this weekend for the Texas Shop Hop (fabric and quilt store stuff), and we stopped at several places along the way.
We went to Davis Mountains State Park and had such a great time. It was already windy and chilly, but we sure enjoyed camping here and documenting lots of neat things. :)

Winds were around 20 mph, super hot, crazy dry... Not the best conditions to black-light, but I still had a blast!
*Had special permission to to conduct these surveys.
Helped out with a vegetation survey in Breckenridge, so on this evening, I put up a few blacklights outside of Possum Kingdom State Park. It was a bit windy, so lots of these photos are blurry. Apologies. Nonetheless, quite a few things showed up!
Ranch
Beat from Guaiacum angustifolium
Collected at night, seen walking on the sand.
One of the three species in the Phyllophaga cribrosa species group.
noticed the bug on a wall near a shopping center however it wasn't moving or doing much
when handling for photos, the beetle's defensive smell was like I just snorted white vinegar. quite strong. Found amongst the sandy bank of a fresh water creek with others of the same species that were digging holes and mating.

Did some black-lighting at the entrance of Big Spring State Park. Really pleased to see a lot of diversity!
Still working on a lot of these ID's, but I wanted to get them uploaded soon.
The AI suggested subfamily Galerucinae, but I couldn't find anything similar there among the species reported from Missouri on iNaturalist.
