From the drive between Denton and Ouray, my friend Millie and I seemed to have hit quite a few fellas including this one :(
Maybe an inch in length - a bunch of these in a puddle in creek bed, moving around
The ones that build webs right by the water and, when idle, sit with their legs stuck out in front of them to resemble a blade of grass in the web.
Saw at least three monarchs as well as a bunch of queens
Yellow pan trap
Day I set up pan traps with @faith_labry and @jada-martinez
Thank you @faith_labry for taking the pictures!
@sarahparoski @jada-martinez and I set up pan traps at the Pollinative Prairie back in September! Finally got around to observing the fellas that fell in my pan trap near the pond!
