Never seen this before! Fly-like, small tucked abdomen, domed thorax, yellow-tan bee-like bristles(?), bright reflective white underside.

Trustworthy kid identified this as bougainvillea, said he got it from a plant near the trailhead. If so, it’s probably an escaped plant and not an intentional planting. I’ll try to confirm the sighting next time I go out.

We were pretty sure this was a copperhead. Unfortunately I didn’t get a pic of the head. Not sure this is enough for an ID.

Not roadkill but “trailkill”, poor thing. Not sure there’s enough there for an identification.

Definitely reminds me of a neighbor’s Chinese tallow, but I’ve never noticed spring growth and coloration before.

These butterflies were all over us for the whole morning! I got lots of pics of them but they’re all on my friends, who I’d have to ask for permission to post.

We’re really interested in mushrooms since attending a program at LLELA hosted by North Texas Mycological Society. Gonna have to dust off the mushrooming books!

I love seeing this vine in the wild, especially because it’s conservation status is “species of concern.”
