Wow, the website is a lot more fleshed out than the app
I should use it more, hah!
Yesterday I went to explore more of Texas, walking down a small portion of the Lone Star Trail in Sam Houston Forest. It looks like they recently did a controlled burn, so I didn't find as many bugs as I'd hoped. I did luck out and run into a Texas Coralsnake.
Probably won't visit again for another month or so, so there's more plant growth and bugs.

Walked with a strange gait, like it hadn’t gotten used to its legs yet. Saw some similar ones in the area with wings but couldn’t get good photos of those.
