hot and hotter

The hot weather is bringing a few more unusual visitors to the Rio grande, or , at least making them move visible. I think a lot of the invisible guys hiding out under the soil are coming out more often

While this guy is tiny, he has unusual markings.

I haven't see this guy before. His size is pretty impressive compared to other click beetles. Everything is bigger in Texas hence he is a "Texas click beetle"

This underwing moth uses bright colors to startle predators. The different species go by many names, such as "sweetheart" or "pink". I guess you run out of fancy names in the moth naming business.

He has a pretty cute face up close
