Eastern Garter Snake commented on by Tamarac Denis Texas, USA11 years ago

I'm going to look into Checkered Garter Snake. Also added an additional photo closeup of head.

Japanese Honeysuckle commented on by Tamarac Denis Texas, USA11 years ago

Yes, Japanese Honeysuckle is pretty, but that is one reason it was used as an ornamental, introduced to the United States in 1906 and spread as a problem invasive plant.

Silvery Checkerspot Butterfly commented on by Tamarac Denis Texas, USA11 years ago

Looking at Pearl Crescent and Alternative ID of Silvery Checkerspot. So far haven't found which is correct.

Black-bellied Whistling-Duck commented on by Tamarac Denis Texas, USA11 years ago

I also find it fascinating that they used to not be found in this part of Texas but have been moving north more than likely as a result of climate change.
