South Florida

[gunslinger]

Well, my annual trip to South Florida is over

While not as productive as I would like, I didn't have that much time to look around and given the weather here in the Chicago region I can't complain.
Here are some highlights.

Ibis and Egrets and Herons oh my

Anyone know what these are guys are?

Any ideas on this guy here?

Very Nice!!! I am a Floridian and have seen those stick bugs. I think I was able to ID them years ago but I can't remember right now. I do know they can shoot a stinky liquid when threatened.

The spider looks like a Hunstman spider. That one looks to be bigger than the few I've seen here in Central FL.

Great pics!!!

I found 3 of the whipscorpions, all under the same rock. It was pretty cool, a first time find for me. The spider was under some trash in a big pile of junk near a lake. I'm sure I would have found more stuff had I arranged to go farther afield, but my Dad met up with me so I took it easy.

The spider wasn't too big, probably 2.5-3inch leg span.

yeah welcome to florida. You wont find a pong, lake or canal without someones crap dumped near it...

The stick bugs are Devil Rider Walking Sticks.

The huntsman appears to be Heteropoda venatoria, and the millipede is Chicobolus spinigerus, aka "Ivory millipede", nice finds!
