Found dangling from spider's web. The stick was used to keep the beetle from spinning in the breeze to get better photographs.

a) The jumping spider resemblance is insane. b) The range of sizes among adults is insane. What is up with this fly.

Pygmy Hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis)Observer
tremarctosDescription
A truly amazing encounter with one of the world's most enigmatic ungulates. When I first saw this Pygmy Hippo, it was resting on the ground a few meters off the trail, covered with sweat droplets. After about an hour of waiting, it got up and slowly walked through the forest. It did not appear to mind my presence.

American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus)Observer
tysmithDescription
Finally, something that gets me excited about Bullfrogs again...
I stopped for a Spring Peeper, and then noticed a yellow object with a red reflection, a ways down the road. I assumed it was some trash, and then realized as I got closer that reflection was an eye shine.

A green chiton attached to a half crab. We observed this alien looking commensal beast while undertaking an intertidal survey on the reefs off Hawera. It made us jump when we first turned over the rock.
