peliken's Favorites

I first saw it diving along the far short of the lake. But then it caught a bluegill and swam around holding it for a few minutes before bringing it across the lake towards me. I think that the fish was a bit large for the otter to swallow easily. The otter climbed out of the water onto a log, and appeared to push the fish against the log in order to force it down. The last two pictures are the first two in the time sequence (I put the best photo first).

Going through old images, I found these of a large (30 mm length) click beetle that my field assistant found flying along a woodland at dusk. It is the so-called blind click beetle - Alaus myops. ("Blind" because its elytral eyespots are smaller than those of the more familiar Alaus oculatus.)
