Well, this is one of the stranger wildlife interactions I’ve had in my yard. I’m sitting out here working with my laptop and a bag of M&Ms and this butterfly flies towards me and goes straight for the bag. I stare in disbelief as it climbs in, fumble for my phone, and snap a few shots before it climbs out and flies away.

White-spotted Slimy Salamander (Plethodon cylindraceus)Observer
graytreefrogDescription
First record of this species in Arlington County since 1977. Adult female found under a log in an upland area dominated by mountain laurel, similar to the habitat I’ve found this species in elsewhere in northern Virginia. This was in a park that has been extensively surveyed, yet there aren’t even any historical records of this species from this park. Absolutely amazing to find this species somewhere it has gone undetected for all this time.

Photo 1: Mockingbirds don't eat my birdseed but they love my bird bath.
Photo 2: I was being very still but this look happened when one of my cats jumped up on the window sill to see what was out there. Check out the tiny little water drops on the tail.
Photo 3: In the middle of the bath it just sat and soaked for a minute.
Photo 4: This was taken a moment before it flew up into a tree to preen and dry off.
