Hey all,
I recently came back from spring break, and thought some of you guys might like to see some of the pictures I took. Several members of the entomology club I'm in went down to Georgia to check out UGA's graduate program and, of course, go bug hunting! While I'm glad to be back, I definitely miss the warm weather, as I was greeted back to NY with 25-30 degree weather and a snow storm this weekend! Anyway, here are some of the things I saw/collected:
A pretty green beetle that I found when we stopped for the night at the club president's house in Charlotte, North Carolina. These guys were everywhere after sunset. I believe it's a Calosoma scrutator.
A little stream in Charlotte, NC.
Anole at the campsite in Eatonton, Georgia.
Mating Promethea moths. This was a really exciting find for me because I'm not used to seeing Saturniids until around May or June in DE.
Not something I found in the wild, but a cool spiny leaf insect from the UGA arthropod zoo.
A pretty big salamander I found under a rock. I think it was the biggest salamander I've seen, and the black spots on a red background were pretty.
Some little mama Lycosid. She was small enough to fit on a nickle, if I recall correctly.
A couple of photos of steam rising off of Lake Sinclair in the early morning at the campsite.
Another salamander!
