![]() WhatRingtails (Genus Erpetogomphus)ObserverjoemdoDescriptionSeen on the Redbud Trail Spent several hours hiking around LLELA. I ended up getting a bit turned around on my last trail of the day, the Bittern Marsh Trail and was running late on getting out by 7PM. Ranger Rob saw me walking towards the exit and was nice enough to give me a ride out of the park. Wish I would've been able to blacklight here as some areas seemed pretty green and there was a lot of insect activity. Observed while visiting Grapevine for an education conference (SREB 2022). I was invited by the National Geographic education team to give a presentation on using iNaturalist in the classroom and had a great time presenting and also learning from the Nat Geo team. I mostly stuck to the area near the Gaylord Texan hotel as there were plenty of woods to explore and blacklight at. I did also go on an iNat marathon on Friday the 22nd when I met sambiology and he took me to two really great spots: Cross Timbers Park and Tandy Hills.
