Southern Watersnake (nerodia fasciata) He sat still until I got too too close, then he started to raise his head like he would bite to defend himself. Non-poisonous. <a href="http://www.louisianaherps.com/southern-watersnake-nerodia.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.louisianaherps.com/southern-watersnake-nerodia.html</a> Lake Martin, Louisiana
Eastern Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa virginica) on thistle blossom Got the ID. The blue-ish tint of the back part had made me think of mason bees. Lake Martin, Louisiana.
mother alligator on log with baby on back Easter 2024, went for a hike around Lake Martin and saw a lot of alligators. This is the mother alligator on the log with the babies from the other two shots adjacent in the photostream. There's one baby on her back in this shot. Okay, so this was a seasonal lake, but they built the levee in 1952 to make it a year round lake. I wonder if this is Stella. <a href="https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/entertainment_life/a-visit-to-lake-martin-offers-close-ups-of-alligators/article_2c9cb3f2-6ea5-11ee-aee8-63484fb4daaa.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/entertainment_life/a-visi...</a> Louisiana.
Baby alligators on log with mom There was one on mama's back. You can zoom for more detail on this one. I didn't know the mums looked after them after they hatched. Easter 2024. We hiked around Lake Martin. It was mostly cloudy, with the sun out occasionally briefly. There were a lot of alligators, and I'll be slowly uploading decent shots of critters including more alligators. Lake Martin, Louisiana
Baby alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) on a log Baby alligators on a log in Lake Martin. Momma was on the log too to the right of this shot. There were a lot of alligators at the lake, we walked around it today on Easter. The rookery is not accessible though, the raised wood trail to view the rookery is badly damaged. Louisiana

May Beetles (Genus Phyllophaga) These are very common, all over right now. Checking ID still, got it is a May Beetle, but trying to sort what kind is still difficult. Lafayette LA.
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.
