We got to see damselfly larva; they look just like the adults, but have three small gill feathers at the end of their abdomen, and no wings. I collected three tadpoles for my personal menagerie: one has no tail, one has only back legs and other has a stump of a tail left.
The spiders down in the ditch are awesomely huge. I think they are funnel spiders. This picture shows one on cider blocks, but they seem just as at home running across the water. For reference, this specimen is about 4 inches across. We are still not seeing or hearing any owls, but there is an increasing number of night herons around
