Dang. Thought I had a native species. It’s beautiful—far moreso than the Asian multicolored ladybird. But introduced and cosmopolitan.

The red morph. Gorgeous animal which rapidly quivered the end of its tail in the dry leaves to frighten me.

So interesting to compare to the black ratsnake I found this morning. Larger eye and no white on lip on this racer. Much more alert and reactive than rat. Both used the tail to rattle dry leaves but the racer did it much louder and more effectively, using the entire last third of its body!

Big thrill! I don’t get many of these. Very small. That’s half inch mesh on the window covering (crop netting).

New for me. Didn’t look like a firefly. Much faster moving, faster flying , more alert. No light in abdomen. Cool bug!
