Have you ever run your finger over he stamens of an opuntia? The stamens fold up over your finger towards the pistil. They move faster than a venus fly trap. It works better on a cholla than a beaver tail. Chollas are faster, but every opuntia I tried it on has moving stamens. They also wrap around bees that visit the flowers. Nest time you come across a blooming opuntia run your little finger over the stamens. Film it, it makes a cool video. ppmoore

Fish eggs can hitch a ride through a bird's digestive tract to get to remote waters. And sometimes also stuck to their feathers. Only took 3 years to see minnows in a barrow pit (pond made by removing soil for highway ramps). It had nothing but Canadian geese by the hundreds in it and no people. I may have been the only one going to it, the owner didn't go back into the fields he leased anymore.

The beauty of the microclimate is so incredible. If there were no plants there that water would all be gone. And conversely its so amazing what happens when people take land like that that has no plants on it and they push, they water, they mulch, they use local plants and in a few years they can bring the water, the life back to the land.

He used to make us pick him fly agaric and he would brew it into a stinky tea, he once let me have a sip and I was out that afternoon til morning!

2:30 I figure they would close up for the heat of midday, texas usually has higher humidity in the morning, before a wave of heat around 11. Also pollinators change over the course of a day, I see a lot more ant activity in the morning, bees midday, and hover flies in the evening, could also help select the pollinator? 5:27 asimina flowers also follow the maroon flower with white center. Definitely could be mimicking a bit of bone poking out of a fresh carcass, best spot to lay eggs or grab a meal.

if those fish are anything like the ones that show up in the seasonal desert pools around arizona then what happened was their ancestors got their during a flood and they lay their eggs under the dirt at the bottom of a pool or stream. and the eggs can dry out and stay preserved for a while and will become reactivated when they get wet during the next flood and all hatch.

OK. I know you were at Hamilton Pool and then you moved west to the Llano uplift. I'm not sure you are by the Llano River, because there are numerous creeks around there, but that would be a big one, so maybe it's the river. I wish you would provide a map of some kind. Even some marks on a road map tracing your route. You don't have to say where you stopped. Also, tell us what that "beautiful bug" is, I have a suspicion that it's an Arctiid moth. P.. S. Hamilton Pool used to have beaches and it was glorious. It looks like the beaches have been washed away and the waterfall is in a different place, because of flooding..

There are many sinkhole/grottos as this in the area of Hamilton Pool, and all around central Tx. I know of a few, luckily they are unknown to the public. There was a fantastic one off of DK Ranch road, North Austin. It was shunt of water in the late 1970s, and then dry by 1988. There are houses built right onto the overhang above. Another off of DB Wood drive in Georgetown, Tx....just northwest of the road, in the dip where a creek crosses south of Lake Georgetown. A famous one today is McKnney Falls.....with the shallow cretaceous volcanco across the road, Pilot Knob.
