Texas Spiny Lizard Sceloporus olivaceusObserver
wlhwildlifeDescription
Two weeks ago I observed this lizard that had lost its tail. Since it frequents a certain area of our back yard, I have been able to find it seven more times since. You can follow the growth of the new tail on days 1, 2, 4, 11, 12, 14, and 15.

With green berries. I will watch to see if they turn white. Boy scouts taught me, "Leaves of three, quickly flee. Berries white, take flight." (Homer Simpson added, "Leaves of four, eat some more.")

Indiana Robber Fly Promachus hineiObserver

I saw a cicada killer and something else fall to the ground. I quickly shot a few photos thinking that it had captured a cicada. I was suprised to see the other insect fly away leaving the dying cicada killer behind. When I looked at the photos, I saw that apparently some kind of brave robber fly had killed the killer.

Through the viewfinder I was surprised to see the other insect fly away leaving the dying cicada killer behind.
