Smaller Sand Cricket (Ellipes minuta)

Date

August 30, 2007

Description

Pygmy mole cricket colonies were observed throughout an ephemeral prairie stream at this location throughout the summer. After rain occurred the burrows, referred to by some as "galleries," could be seen a few inches from the completely saturated mud along the edge of the receding water. Photos above include these galleries and the adjacent habitat. Several hundred individuals could be seen jumping out of their burrows when I stepped onto the damp soil along the stream, but only a few could be photographed. Dragging a butterfly net over the galleries seemed to be the best way to get some in front of the camera.

Description

This poor little guy was dead when we found him under the bridge. Observed while collecting stream macroinvertebrates with Elizabeth Welch from Austin Youth River Watch. Since there's a pretty good general consensus that bats on the ground are not good to pick up we left him in place, and my photos might not be ideal, but later while getting ready to post them here I noticed a whitish patch on his nose. It doesn't look like the images of white-nose syndrome that I have seen online, but I'm not really sure what I should be looking for. If you know what to look for then check out the close up of the head. Also, some guy got in the paper a day or two ago because he was exposed to a bat that apparently tested positive for rabies. Don't know where that was, but it was in Austin.

Description

We often encounter freshwater sponges in Barton Creek and in other creeks in the Austin area. They are frequently overlooked, but actually appear to be quite common. I'm going to find out if I can culture some for identification later.

Description

This is either Pyrgus communis or Pyrbus albescens, but the two species cannot be reliably separated in the field. Dissection of male genitalia in the lab is required for a positive ID. That being said, this is probably P. albescens, which appears to be replacing P. communis in the southern states.
