why is this caterpillar split in half exactly down the middle with two different colors. ive heard of bilateral gynandromorphism, so i was wondering if this was that or if its just random that its perfectly split in half by color?

This appears to be two spiders of different species tying up the same bug. The yellow one is doing most of the work, but the other one comes in to help for short periods of time. (The observation is of the yellow spider, for IDing purposes.)

This moth, first time for me, was spotted at Karzi-Mangnam, West Sikkim, one of the remotest villages in our state. I'd taken my family to show them how does it feel like reaching there (adventurous roads, first road came in 2004), living there and experiencing their lives.
The trip indeed was fruitful, despite the back-breaking journey, I managed to photograph some extraordinary moths, like this one.

Socorro Isopod from the vicinity of Socorro, Socorro Co., New Mexico, USA. where it occurs at a natural spring and nearby spring-fed artificial refugium pools, the only places in the wild the species is found.

Wild adult specimens collected by Brian K. Lang for photographic purposes and subsequently released at capture site. Joel Sartore of National Geographic was also present with us this day to get pictures and his photos of this species for the magazine put mine to shame.

Still alive Male L.cervus on a small parking lot, perhaps devour by a bird. Mandibles and antennas are still moving but all the abdomen/wings were eaten.
I found the missing elytras and the four back legs within 5 meters around the main body parts

Was looking at a group of 30 Black Oystercatchers when I noticed a fishs fins flapping out of the surf. The fish then came out of the water and started flailing in the sand. I immediately ran towards it and tried to drag it back towards the water at least 5 times by its tail but had no luck getting it all the way back into the water. We ended up leaving after trying for about 5 minutes to get it back in the water since I was guiding at the time.

2 large peccaries wandering around right after sunset. Sadly I forgot my flashlight so photos are very poor. In the first photo you can just make out eyeshine and body shape, and in the second photo you can see eyeshine.

Male in spawning condition. Lack of tubercle rows beween nostrils, unbanded anal fin.

With Central Stoneroller (Campostoma anomalum) for comparison in 13th-15th photos (C. oligolepis is upper fish in #13 and #14 and on the right in #15).

While Bald Eagles do nest in Texas along various rivers, I was surprised to find an adult perched on a utility pole just outside of Gonzales, Texas today. The Guadalupe River is nearby so perhaps this bird had had a nest there earlier in the season. When I stopped to take some shots, the eagle flew a few hundred yards farther away and landed on another pole at a poor light angle for photos. A Scissor-tailed Flycatcher started dive-bombing the eagle. The eagle took off followed by the Scissor-tailed FC until they were out of sight. I'm posting the eagle and the scissor-tailed separately, but will use this same text.

I was leaving the park and caught sight of this STFL just as it caught the grasshopper. The STFL began alternately trying to swallow the grasshopper and beat it around/toss it up in the air. It took a few minutes before the STFL was able to swallow the grasshopper.
