Yikes – cannot imagine the ancient 10 foot long scorpion much less the 9 incher in the present day! And they dance and glow and can fast for a year. Pretty amazing.
Wonder what one would see if they put a drop of that trough water under a scope?
Are these troughs at the grasslands? I never saw any with the rubber tire wrap in all the years I rode out there. Are they the trough themselves or just a wrapping around the metal?
Yes grasslands. They have done many improvements. The troughs are made from huge tires cut in half with concrete bottoms and fed by piped in water lines. They have gotten dome grants. Additionally they have replaced some of the fencing.
The trough with the mosquito larvae needs some relocated mosquito fish! Such an interesting project. I’m glad y’all didn’t find any bat carcasses.
Yes, a null data set for bats was a good thing☺️
What kind of fish, do you know? Great article about scorpions.
I do not know. 🤷🏻♀️

Not eating for a year seems incredible to me
I briefly thought about bringing home a sample. But only briefly. 😂
Great project. The troughs form their own little worlds. So happy no drowned birds or other critters. Love the cicada photo.
Yeah I was very happy we didn’t find any too😎
I think the exuvia is a dragonfly, which you may know? Great visit to the mini ponds.
Yes I did. Don’t know why I didn’t say🤷🏻♀️
