Photos / SoundsWhatWestern Ribbon Snake (Thamnophis proximus)Observereric_keithDescriptionThis over-stuffed snake appeared to have eaten more than it could swallow. When I let it go, it was apparent that it was about to regurgitate it's rather large meal. Third pic reveals the contents. The gray tree frog hopped off apparently unharmed. Leopard frog wasn't so lucky. I went back about 20 minutes later and the frog and snake were both gone. |

Web looked to be at least three days old, with two partially-consumed prey--one honey bee (Apis mellifera) and one severely-decomposed hymenopteran, possibly a vespoid wasp. Web included some non-capture architecture behind it, possibly structures built for defense ahead of constructing an egg sac. |
