Dramatic

A very small moth, quite possibly in the genus Carmenta. It was around 1.5 cm long.

Lil' beetle


Turtles for left to right: spiny softshell, a very large common snapper, two of what I call the "turts" (painted turtle/red-eared slider), another spiny softshell, and some stack-parking turts.

Now the second softie swam away

Turts and geese

Prairie Milkweed

A common snapper, far away from the water, going to lay some eggs. It also appears to be very angry. But still cute!

A fun vine with a jumping spider at the lower right
