Another warm summer day, eh. Certainly you will choose to wear something cool.
A new guest out the backdoor, the Strecker’s Chorus Frog (Pseudacris streckeri)!
A really cute Prairie Boopie (Boopedon gracile) nymph!
A warm season grass obviously, Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). It is warm out. LOL. Watch for the Warm Season Grass ID Workshop, Saturday September 27, 2025 to be given by the Ft. Worth chapter of NPAT. Certainly I am looking forward to it!
Another warm season grass blooming, the Sideoats Grama (Bouteloua curtipendula).
The non-native Johnson Grass (Sorghum halepense)! Though I must admit, it still is pretty.
This Meadow Pink (Sabatia campestris) was curling up. Perhaps it was done since it had been pollinated.
At first glance I thought the Spotted Phosphila (Phosphila miselioides) was caught. However the cat had put on weigh. So they were just changing out of their too small clothes. 🙂
Sometimes I feel a little guilty watching another creature do their things. But none has protested. So I suppose it is OK. 🙂
I love seeing the grass flowers up close. People don’t often notice them. I’m looking forward to the grass class, as well. Maybe this time one or two will stick.
fun to see a shedding caterpillar!
Fun yes and fun to see the frog
The streckers has a cool call too.
The grass flowers are beautiful. Colorful.
