Still Updating…

Continuing with sightings from this past weekend: here is a Hollow-spotted Blepharomastix Moth (Blepharomastix ranalis).
Jalysus genus stilt bugs. The two in the back are making more.
Silver-spotted Skipper (Epargyreus clarus).
Texas leaf-cutter bee on mountain mint.
Juvenile Great Blue Heron.
Great Northern Bumblebee backing out of a trumpet vine flower.
Not sure which bumble bee is, but it sure is hairy.
