Paul Napper – Vertebrae found near the battery.

It was something I’d never seen and it still had a little hide and a section of the vertebrae attached. HOW COOL IS THAT! Some research told me it was a skunk.

Deborah Canterbury – Dedication Behind the Curtain

See those two faces in the back of this class photo? The ones with arrows above their heads? Well, they are still in the back row, so to speak, taking care of the tribe by posting and creating.

Nancy Taylor – Wasps Love Cicadas to Death

When I first saw her noticeable behavior pattern, I went quickly to get my camera. She kept digging, moving out small clumps of dirt, then backing out. I watched as she repeated the process.

Lauri Diamond – Randie and Marvin – a Tale of Two Monarchs

I have really enjoyed learning about the monarchs and other butterflies and moths and this article is about what started the interest. The artwork at the end was inspired by my BPTMN nature walks 🙂

Just Another Day in the Life of Tribe Member Joyce

Just for grins. Today started out as pretty normal, but it’s 2020, so nothing is normal. I woke up early to do the Senior Hours shopping. I’m not a morning person.

And now a word from our sponsor:

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is urging Texans to take extreme precaution when receiving unsolicited seed packets from China. These packets have been mailed to multiple states, including Texas, falsely labeled as jewelry. Residents are advised not to plant the seeds as they could contain harmful invasive species or be otherwise unsafe.

Mike Merchant – Insects in the City blog

I am a stalker of AgriLife guru Mike Merchant. He posted this link and thoroughly enjoyed it. BTW he started his master naturalist journey through BPTMN!
