A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I found this turtle (I believe it's a female) when I was out hiking in the woods. I wish I could've gotten a better picture, but she closed herself up in her shell. I had to wait a while just for her to let her guard down a bit so I could take this picture.
These little guys were everywhere out in the field- one jumped out of a tree and landed on my friend's head.
Thought so- I've never seen a blue one before, though. I wish I could've gotten a better picture of him, but he wouldn't sit still.
It was running around very fast and was bright blue. I think it's a tiger beetle, but I'm not sure what kind.
Found these guys during a hike.
Great picture! (although, hermit crabs are arthropods)
This guy was brought to our Captive Wildlife class, along with a great horned owl, a barred owl (which I also have a picture of in my spottings), and a saw-whet owl.
