Had to make a very necessary shopping trip to grocery store and a Walmart in a "big city". Traveled the long way down a couple of county roads before hitting the highway to see what there might be to see. Any opportunity to iNat!

Mighty hot and pretty windy, but Monahans blacklighting was still wonderful. I had about 3 stations set up in the sand dunes and quite a few really interesting critters showed up.
Still some work to do on ID's -- will spend more time on these after I upload.

Matador WMA Socially-Distant BioBlitz: 2nd Day,
Our group was treated to a live demonstration of the installation of a computer chip for identification purposes in a female "horned toad" by Matador WMA wildlife biologist Chip Ruthven.
Proof of female designation shown by Chip in 2nd photo.
Specimen captured in wild and returned to the location of capture. Location entered for observation was place of demo, not the area of the toad's habitat.
(She was probably the most photographed Texas horned lizard in the world that day.)
