Como correições, vi Labidus fazendo caminhos parecidos uma vez. Pensei ser Dorylinae até pegar uma operária na mão e analisar o corpo.

Possibly the only documentation of a C. cerastes feeding in the wild. Full sequence at: http://www.fjexpeditions.com/expeditions/past/oct04/oct04_2.htm
Boechera zephyra, northeast side of Wind Mountain, Otero County, New Mexico, 10 Apr 2010.
Lobed goblin bee. Identified from specimen by John L. Neff. Found feeding on Opuntia engelmannii, at Dos Venadas Ranch, northeast of Rio Grande City, This is a male measuring 4.5 mm.
Totally trying to copy @alice_abela's technique here.
Collected Jun 2 from a treehole. Aedes triseriatus and Toxorhynchites rutilus also collected from the hole with this specimen
The long lost disjunct population of Candelaria in Starr County. First collected as a Herbarium voucher in the 1970s at UTRGV Herbarium. Cyathial bracts (petaloid appendages) on this variety (possibly a new species) are erect as opposed to spreading like the West Texas (and Huasteca Canyon, Monterrey) form. This population now destroyed for a solar farm, but there are likely other remaining populations in the area off Loma Blanca Road.
One depigmented bird in a flock of thousands.
this was the most leech infested plant I've ever seen, about 20 tiger leeches on a waist high vegetation. worth it, but don't want to try again
With majors or smth weird
In the mid 1980s I lived in a house along Shoal Creek in central north Austin. There was a rocky 20 ft cliff above the creek and Canyon Wrens were regular visitors to my yard.
I am posting scans of some old, marginal 35 mm slides. gcwarbler had retained many boxes of some of my culled slides from 20-30 years ago. I have enough to keep me busy for a while with scanning, etc. (thanks Chuck….I think!). These will all be of records I had not posted to iNat previously. There has been considerable color shift in many of these slides over the years, unfortunately. Sorry for the marginal/poor quality of most of these but they are all I have.

Specimen was purchased -- not collected by me
average NYC CBC (we had 305)
There were many of these next to a very small cave and crawling in and out of the cave. Very interesting to watch.
Swarming/trailing through forest floor predating on invertebrates. Photographs illustrate individuals eating an earthworm (bit into pieces).

Historical; got better
Cotton rat captured as part of the small mammal survey at Cibolo Center for Conservation. Don’t worry, he can breathe.
In the last 10 years alone this species has almost been extrapated from this area. It has become extremely common to find them dug up and uprooted with their roots partially eaten, presumably by javelina or feral pigs. Soon they will be all gone.
Very confused, was as big or bigger than my Vizsla and the exact same color (golden brown) - didn't get a good look at the tail, but it was large with a distinctive head shape and swam fast. Perhaps an escaped capybara from an exotic game ranch? Or maybe just a massive Nutria or beaver? Not sure!
Phylum: Arthropoda
Subphylum: Crustacea

Fun Fact: A pea crab will live much of its life in a single oyster.
Tadpoles. Body about the size of a green pea
Specimen originally collected in a deep limestone cave at Amistad National Recreation Area near Del Rio, Texas; currently held at San Antonio Zoo
Several individuals around nest entrance of Camponotus dumentorum along trail in Artemisia Ceanothus scrub after sunset.
Adult male found on front porch during daylight (late afternoon). Spider was small and fast moving. Image by Mary Finley Salmon.
Colony in decaying wood of Pinus log, in open Pinus, Quercus, Ceanothus woodland. Tapinoma sessile was inhabiting the same log, around 2 meters away. No mixing of the workers was observed, but all the T. sessile workers were consistently black. Last image shows mounted specimen.
A single dealate queen was found in a small wash, probably a straggler from a daytime/morning flight. It appears to be the same species as the first phoretica queen found in Arizona, but it is difficult to tell without proper specimen photos for both of them, as a lot of specific features seem to be very dependent on the angle. There are some minor (although probably not notable) differences. Specifically the hair length on the head, mesoscutellar disc, and gaster (maybe). Possibly also the antennal scape length.
Didn't believe my eyes when I first saw it, I never expected that they would actually go this far north. This opens up their range a whole lot, although I do think that they'd still be more common in the south.
Not associated with any other ants, but hyatti, xerophila, and micula are the most common (or at least most conspicuous) Pheidole species in the area. P. rhea may also be present, but I haven't seen them here yet.
A scorpion with a pseudoscorpion hanging onto its claws.
Scorpion was out and about on an oak tree at night.
Possibly T. choco? I am not sure about the diagnostic
Male

This bird turned up in the middle of Funchal (probably confused by the lights). It was taken out to sea and released.

Henslow's swimming crabs are notorious for their pelagic habits, and sometimes form large schools like this. They can often be seen swimming around during safety stops while scuba diving in Portugal.
my favorite find of this years trip!

Small colony (~20 individuals) including dealate queen in partially-buried rotting log at the base of a small tree a few meters off a busy hiking path.
