Pleasant day eh!
The ant and the Darkling Beetle (maybe Eleodes tricostata). Both went their separate ways.

This ground beetle was making a meal of the leftover pecan. Maybe in the Pterostichus genus.

Not sure what plant this is, but the head was so interesting.
Glad it was a beautiful day there too!
Good for us both!😎
Got me curious on that odd skeleton of a plant part. I see spines on the plant. That might narrow it down to a thistle family, or another spiny plant. It is neat looking!
I should have paid more attention to what was growing in that area of the pond. But alas I didn't. Maybe I will look for it next year and let you know… 🙂
