I was looking for cluster of Veliids on the banks of the Rio Grande and found these Gerrids instead. Huge thanks to Alysa for being brave enough to go out and catch these. And to Chris for doing the detective work back at home!
Large clusters of these striders were found in shady areas beside the Devil's River, ranging from 10-30 feet from shore.

Corn Snake (Pantherophis guttatus)Observer
bobbyfingersDescription
This is an extremely poor picture of one of the most beautiful and large Corn Snakes I've had the pleasure to encounter in the wild. This photo does little justice to its bright brick-red blotches with wide black borders over a deep orange ground color, or its immense length for a Corn Snake at 56". Discovered while flipping tin at an abandoned farmstead near Aurora, NC, and released after putting up with my sad attempts at photography!
