Riley's Tree Cricket Oecanthus rileyiObserver
gcwarblerDescription
I can't see any dark markings on the first few antennal segements on this tree cricket, so I don't know where to put it. I see tiny dark marks on the wings, so this may be Four-spotted, but that's just a guess.

Giant Stoneflies and Salmonflies Genus PteronarcysObserver
gcwarblerDescription
There was a massive flight of giant stoneflies all along the Yellowstone River for much of our 5 days in the park. The first three images are what I assume is a male (actually ph. at the nearby Fishing Bridge in Teton Co. but abundant everywhere along the river), the second set of three images shows what I presume is a female of the same species. The last image shows just one small example of the exuvia (shed skins) of larvae on a tree trunk near the water's edge. There were tens of thousands of these on the trees and adults in the air.
Can this be narrowed to species based on geography and these images?

Wanted to see the comet and do some blacklighting without much light pollution, so I went west towards Palo Pinto Mountains State Park! It's still not officially open, so I spent time at the public park by the lake. Lots of bugs showed up, and the comet did too! :)

In Junction for the Texas Academy of Sciences conference -- set up the moth light in the first evening. After a good while, some neat bugs showed up!
I'll spend lots of time trying to ID the moths with the discover life moth guide:

While all my compatriots get ready to upload their pretty butterflies and plants from today's outing, I'll take this opportunity to upload the latest image of a Gulf Coast Tick ever documented (on BG).

We are so thrilled. My wife acquired this tick either at the Sabal Palm Sanctuary or out on Boca Chica Blvd; I believe it was probably the latter.

Sand Bluestem Andropogon halliiObserver

This grass has befuddled me. When I first saw the flower spikes, I thought of Big Bluestem, but several aspects of the spikes and the growth form of the grass are wrong for that prairie species. Yet I can't settle on anything else. I'm stumped.

An unusual pose for Petrophila, but just as I took this pic, the moth decided to fly and spread out. It shows the HWs better than most pics of Petrophila.
