Roosting among dense regrowth foliage of Stringybark.
Location given away by Grey Butcherbird.
Area burnt 19th December 2019
Via scuba in ecotourism pen.
PLEASE NOTE that while the fish was imaged in S.A., it originated as a wild specimen in the SW of W.A.
These wild-caught juvenile or immature tuna were towed in floating pens slowly, and with great care for their well-being, across the Bight so that-unlike those destined for human consumption, they could continue growing into mature biggies in a more accessible location i.e. an eco-tourism privately funded commercial venture focused on giving customers ,especially snorkelers, an interactive thrill with much associated pro-conservation educational benefit .

animal, Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus), garden, Nepean, ON, May 16/20. Adult + juvenile.
If anybody can offer other ID on this, it would be appreciated. It is obviously a bicolored beetle.
I don't think I've ever seen an individual with such a white tail.
I researched this insect and found that the mesquite borer is not native to Tennessee...I think it was imported. I observed it on a car outside a pet shop and near a home repair store, and it may have been imported in mesquite chips from either store.
78 degrees, 82% humidity, scattered showers

A bat. I’m my house!
Ok who had the spray can? Found mostly on the dead spruce but also on the bark of the living spruce.
Habitat: Mixed Douglas fir/ spruce forest - Moss and Labrador Tea understory
Update:
I found several of these at Cedar Bog again this year. The last one might be Hexatoma brevicornis, so if you have expertise, please D.

Note: I have photographed this Hexatomini at Cedar Bog in Champaign County, Ohio for at least 17 years. Always in the same area.
I've added two other observations; one from back in 2004.

Here's an observation this year (2022) with better pics of wing venation. Same location.

Finally, something that gets me excited about Bullfrogs again...
I stopped for a Spring Peeper, and then noticed a yellow object with a red reflection, a ways down the road. I assumed it was some trash, and then realized as I got closer that reflection was an eye shine.
Shell diameter 21mm.
The weather was dry, so I dropped a little water on its shell and it came out immediately.
It tried to slide down a spider thread but that didn't work :-)
Leucistic
A white-golden squirrel. Initially I thought this squirrel was albino, but after a little search online it seems like it doesn't qualify due to its black eyes. Looking for confirmation that this is a white variation of the grey squirrel. Thanks!
looking at the bones the squirrel is gnawing (this is the best shot I have of them--I only noticed it looking back at the photos today!)
