It moved like animated taffy. Cute feet. Not in creek but crossing the trail away from the water.
First time I saw the flowers. Looking forward to the fruits.
Estivation! Found it pretty far from water.
SO. MANY. EGGS. Different stages of growth.
Mating ball! Also saw a few in amplexus where the male was swimming super fast. Did not look like great fun for the female.
Noticeable white patch in wings when flying.
THIS WAS A GIANT HEDGE BORDERING THE SINGLE TRACK COAST TRAIL. I’m sorry, I am overcome. I did not know poison oak was so diverse in its growth.
Saw tons of turrets today, maybe higher density than I've ever seen before.
