This is "Bela", a common Chilean rose tarantula (G. rosea). A gift from my son's mother, more than making up for a well-earned rep as a notoriously bad gift-giver. Not sure how old she was when she came to live with us in 1994; my best guess is one ...

Spring is coming! The Zster snakes are back to eating weekly... The king snakes are waking up after a winter nap. I am always amazed by how much bigger they are for having been sleeping and not eating. Here's Siri ("Sirius Black"), my youngest ...

I was bird-watching in one of my favorite swamps today when I came across 15 of these beauties: Eastern painted turtles. It was only 40°F today, but these guys were taking advantage of the sun.

My house is a mess because we do not kill spiders in this house. So a hundred years of webbing is gonna fall soon. Any day now the windows will open & the spiders will venture outside. I am an optimist. I will collect the egg sacs & they too will ...

My first night setting up the lights in 2018! I'm so excited about what tonight may bring. Probably nothing too exotic: early season moths and parasitic wasps, maybe some hoppers and flies. Now, I just have to be patient until dark...

A new one for my lights last night: a predaceous diving beetle. This one didn't come in until around 3am, so I caught it for some pics this morning. I've frequently found the larvae of this species in shallow ponds and vernal pools, but I've rarely ...

Irritating the bejesus out of this poor anole. Don't turn me in to P.E.T.A. getting some definite "I will cut you" vibes off this girl.

Another night above 50°F and I'm excited to run my night lights again. I'm hoping for some more interesting, cool weather, insect visitors.

Strangest critter discovery... This is from several years ago- a brutal mystery. This is a vole's head, upper teeth defiantly latched into a crawlspace vent that evidently looked like an escape route; but the screen inside prevented passage. So, the ...

No pic but there is a busy beaver doing a lot of work at night in the river by the hot spring I frequent. Last evening I got to see it surface about 3 times. It is about 2 feet nose to rump

Just so everyone knows, I don't have time to look these little critters up, and besides, I'm taking my time stroking your egos (because you have this info floating around in your heads). So, if you can ID these little red bugs, I'd greatly appreciate...
