tiny black wasp/soldier fly hauling cricket - no id yet Not many bugs out since it is still February. This guy crawled by though while I was in Moncus Park, and I did a bunch of shots thinking they'd all be bad since it was so tiny and moving. I only noticed after cropping that the wasp/soldier fly had been hauling a cricket larger than it was. The cricket is the more grainy black that the wasp partly blocks, and the one leg is the black grainy bit running down to be obscured by clover, and if you zoom you can see the other leg being identifiable in the shaded area where you can see the spiky leg hairs. Lafayette, LA.
Bluegill at Moncus Park Caught four bluegill/sunfish on worm bait. They were lurking right beyond the reedbeds, around 1:00 p.m. Catch and release. Lafayette, LA.
10/14/23 Solar Eclipse - middle of the day I'd forgotten there was going to be an eclipse, so this is the best I could do when I looked outside wondering why the sky looked wrong. Lafayette LA.
carp At the Diamond Lakes apartments pond. It is nice to walk around the pond and look at the fish. There's bluegill/sunfish, bullheads, and the carp. Lafayette, LA
