Sea Swallow (Glaucus atlanticus)Observer
tangatawhenuaDescription
Is it a fish? Is it a slug? Is it a fishy anemone? I do not have a clue what this is!
It is about 30mm long and there were a few of them in the sand - outgoing tide nearly on the turn. Most were buried and only the "fan fin" was showing.
Resting on the wet sand, when the sand collapsed it arched it's face upwards (2nd and third photos) and seem to spawn capsule from somewhere - there are 2 floating in the 4th pic.
Totally hypnotic, by the time my sister-in-law and I carried on the brother had walked 2kms away from us!

Narrow-gutted House Ant (Pheidole tenuinodis)Observer
flippie1971Description
David vs. goliath: This was quite a scene. The Pheidole major attacked the scorpion (size 25mm without tail - around 50mm with tail) and bit down onto one of its pincers. This caused the scorpion much distress - however it then proceeded to inject the major with venom. When a second pheidole (worker) attached itself to the scorpion it ran off. I lost track of the major which had detached itself so I am not sure if the envenomation was successful.

simonoDescription
In the peak of the top end dry season. A mantis crashed into the spotlight of my parked vehicle and fell on the ground, stunned. The katydid immediately arrived and began eating it. This is a dried up creek bed and the nearby vegetation is extremely dry - perhaps the katydid desperately needed the moisture. Bowerbird.org.au sighting being moved to iNaturalist as the former website is shutting down.

This is still a complete mystery to me. Ever since I first noticed the pop up in my back yard in central Austin back in the spring I’ve seen it everywhere- at my school, at my parents’ house in Kerrville, all over. It has the look and feel of synthetic batting or pillow stuffing. I have not seen any bugs, eggs or signs of life within one of these puffs. Please - someone has to know what this is.

luismiguel7Description
Paradulcedo mimica Rosenberg & Talbo, 1914 is a member of the tribe Haeterini, subfamily Satyrinae
Paradulcedo Constantino, 1992 is a new genus, proposed for the satyrid butterfly orginally described as Cithaerias mímica Rosenberg & Talbot. This Little known species, endémica to western Colombia, has long being considered incorrectly as member of the genus Pseudohaetera, from which it is quite distinct. See the following link for more information about the differences in wing venation between Paradulcedo and Pseudohaetera:

Northern Yellow Sac Spider (Cheiracanthium mildei)Observer
carnifexDescription
determination not 100% safe, but with the help of a spider expert, who also knows the area, we agreed on that it is quite likely this species.
The wasp came into the department through the open terrace door. Don't know if the spider was caught inside or brought there.
Luckily I had my camera with me that day and the wasp was so busy that it was just ignoring me
The pompilid wasp is in this observation:
