Found outside at our VRBO rental.
Reared from Polistes sp.
A frog I think that makes noise in the heat of the afternoon
No idea what this is. On North Manitou Island. On the sand ecosystem between the forest and beach.
Very weird light morph, I assume.
Cool wing venation/markings. Looks like 'insect' damage to a leaf. Excellent camouflage!
NOTE: Dead on a sidewalk in our neighborhood. Gnarly but awesome.
GEOPRIVACY NOTE:
All my observations are posted with “obscured” geoprivacy. This means the exact location for each observation is masked somewhat within the red box that shows up on the standard browser viewer. I’m happy to provide more habitat description if requested — as the map may not be too precise in the public view.
A REQUEST:
When recommending an identification, please adhere to current standards of taxonomy as deployed by iNaturalist at this time — as opposed to identifying and classifying organisms based on personal beliefs about what taxonomy can, should, or of right ought to be in opposition to iNaturalist’s current taxonomy. Comments noting such taxonomic disagreements, however, are welcomed and encouraged. I prefer my observations to be inline with current taxonomic standards as deployed by iNaturalist (as opposed to my personal beliefs) so that this and other observations are readily accessible to iNaturalist users with greater efficiency and usability. This has been an issue in the past with some folks in the herpetological circles. Thanks!
If you have any questions regarding this observation, feel free to contact me or leave a comment below!

"Diamondless" aberrant individual, seen moving through property, and vanished into an armadillo burrow.
GPS coordinates approximate, and placed near Headquarters of Big Lake Wildlife Management Area for convenience
The unbelievable amelanistic individual was found by Eli Bieri. Just about the coolest thing I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. No surprise that this has become my most favorited observation
Great Basin Rattlesnake, subspecies of Western rattlesnake
