Isopod Iridescent Virus (Invertebrate iridescent virus 31)Observer
silversea_starsongDescription
This brilliant colour is caused by IIV-31 (Isopod Iridescent Virus). I've been checking hundreds of pill bugs over several years for this unusual phenomenon and my persistence finally paid off!
Sadly, this total colour change is usually the later stage of the virus; once a pill bug is this bright it generally doesn't have much longer to live.

Strecker's Giant-Skipper (Megathymus streckeri)Observer
bradmoonDescription
One of two individuals observed near a cluster of yuccas (the other individual is here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/42495705). This is a known location for this species, east of its main range (Marks, 2018, Butterflies of Louisiana) . I think this one made soft wing-slapping noises when it flew.
