Salamander Spermatophores The male spotted salamander does not fertilize the eggs of the females as the female lays them. Rather they deposit multiple packets of sperm called spermatophores on a submerged leaf or twig for the females to collect later to fertilize their eggs.

Rhexia virginica or Virginia meadow-beauty. A small perennial of sandy pond shores and peaty meadows, Virginia meadow-beauty has a distinctive urn-shaped fruit that Thoreau once compared to a tiny cream pitcher.

Ambush Bug Ambush bugs wait motionless for their prey to wander near. Once an insect gets within reach the ambush bug will suddenly seize it in powerful raptorial (prey-grabbing) forelegs and quickly dispatch it with a stab from its sharp beak.

There are about 300 known species, which most often overwinter as adults.
