Knight Anole (Anolis equestris)Observer
konglamourateDescription
ok so the knight anole had the brown anole in his mouth, and i was so fascinated by nature playing out right in front of me that got close enough to the point the anole got spooked and ran off, throwing its prey up in the air. its was stuck hanging there (pic 3) where i saw it was still breathing so i prayed for its safety and hid it under a bush (pic 5). pic 4 is the same knight anole poking around wondering what had happened to his meal while i was moving him to safety, he looks pissed 😂

Three native swallowtail larvae side by side for comparison. From left to right: Eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus), Eastern black swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) and spicebush swallowtail (Papilio troilus). Note snake mimicry of both Eastern tiger and spicebush swallowtail caterpillars. Note aposematic coloration of Eastern black swallowtail. The adults of these three species participate in a Batesian mimicry complex in which they mimic the highly distasteful pipevine swallowtail (Battus philenor)

The blue image was shot with my phone and a UV flashlight. I saw my first wild scorpions this night, AND, I got to see them glow, so I was pretty psyched. I originally had 3 scorpions in this observation, but have split out the others into their own. They are connected through Similar Observation Set.

Hola, te comparto las siguientes recomendaciones para tus registros. Las fotografías y descripciones que hagas, te van a permitir identificar el ejemplar:
-Tomar fotografías de las diferentes estructuras del basidioma/ascoma/cuerpo fructifero/carpoforo/seta (por encima, por debajo y de perfil), su estipe, pileo y base, en el caso de retirar el ejemplar sin conocerlo, debes comprometerte a realizar una descripción detallada para aportar a su conocimiento y que no quede en una muestra arrancada, fotografiada y desechada. Además de retirarlo con sustrato para conocer otras características de la base del basidioma.
-Es importante que describas las dimensiones (altura y diametro), forma, consistencia, textura, color y olor. Recuerda que los ejemplares cambian bastante según su estado de desarrollo, así que es ideal familiarizarse con la zona y temporada en la que crecen, para hacer un seguimiento y logres observar la variabilidad fenotípica del basidioma o ascoma (cuerpo fructífero).
-Toma fotos del entorno y agrega datos del ecosistema (humedad, temperatura, altura, tipo de bosque, insectos asociados, etc).
-No olvides que la determinación de macromicetos es compleja y no se realiza únicamente con fotografías, esta tarea (a nivel de género y especie; en la mayoría) implica actividades de descripción morfológica externa e interna, esporada, reacciones químicas, microscopia e incluso herramientas moleculares (ADN/PCR).
