I tried to get a dorsal view, but they would all dance around to the other side of the plant.

Thanks to Chuck for helping me out with the original ID for this bug -- I see it all over the place now. :)

"After my dragonfly program, I decided to explore a little bit behind this historic place. This is the homestead of Ralph Mann. http://www.stoppingpoints.com/texas/sights.cgi?marker=Ralph+Mann+Homestead&cnty=tarrant I spent some time ""sweeping"" with the insect net and caught some of these cool bugs too."

Had an incredible time exploring with @bob777 and @squaylei2000 -- great botanists and friends and with Jeanne. Jeanne owns over 100 acres next to this lake, and because this is private land, I'm obscuring the locations of these observations. It was an AWESOME day to see lots of new plants for me, and of course, several new bugs too. :)

Explored this wet ditch at lunch today.

Had a great morning with Andy @andyk and Judith @taogirl walking around Chuck Silcox park. :)

It was wonderful weather today, so I went to this mighty crowded Frisbee park... Only had to dodge a few flying discs while I was bug hunting. :)

At a blacklight. I'm beginning to recognize this pale yellowish pentatomid everywhere now.

October 10 was the fall bioblitz at Oliver Nature Park, and I even had the chance to go out and get some observations! :) It was a blast -- 66 folks (children and adults) showed up, and I think everyone had a good time. Yippee, nature! :)
