Part of a series of photos taken for my colleague Prof. Doug Levey for the PR surrounding their paper in PNAS about mockingbird recognition of individual people, not just people in general. This photo went out on the wire and was published in a number of newspapers, including USA Today (see scan of article).

The story is....on my husband's sandtrap, there hover many, many, many little black striped flying things that look like bees...but they are very passive...they just hover. they have little holes dug out of the sand, which they keep very neat and tidy....then along comes this BIG galoot....all bright orange and yellow, and when it flies in, it gets the little black striped guys all crazy. They actually dive bomb it, trying to knock it down to the ground. After a few close calls the big orange and yellow one enters the little cave...then backs out with it's front arms carrying a wad of dirt, which it proceeds to smooth out in front of the hole...it does this several times before flying off for a few moments and then comes back and the process begins all over again!! i am now going to bed...i am going to pull out my insect book (I am such a nerd!!) and find out what this is all about!! Once again the 3 year old me needs to know "WHY?"!!

Harbor seals are NOT sociable. When they haul out, they do so in groups, but keep their distance, a meter ( a yard) or so. Too close, and there is growling and flipper flapping, lunging and baring of teeth, and this youngster gets the word. Thanks to seaworld.org for the insights into the harbor seal behavior I recorded.
I was always fascinated by Jaguars, their elegance, posture, and behavior, made them one of my favorite animals
Not sure whether this is pursuit for sex or a battle for flower-feeding territory. Many of the Anise Swallowtails at this place have shredded wings. To me it seems more like a fight.

This is a Tutelina elegans male, the jumping spider with the weird "eyebrows". After spotting this ant, in order to get to it, the spider took a route behind a stem, peered around the stem and then finally started to make his move.
But having snuck up on this meal, he was hesitant to pounce. At first I thought the spider hesitated because the spider was not very smart and a bit of a bumbler.
After some research, it looks like the ant could be an acrobat ant (Crematogaster). After noticing the spider, the ant went into "alarm posture" www.alexanderwild.com/Ants/Natural-History/Communication/.... I can't say for sure what the ant is thinking but wikipedia says: "When in conflict, acrobat ants can release a venom by flexing their abdominal regions. The effectiveness of the venom varies greatly with the opposer to the ant." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crematogaster
After capturing the ant, the Tutelina did what seemed to be a "happy dance", at times putting one or both front legs up, or hoisting the ant into the air. I've never seen a spider emote in such a way so maybe the "dance" served some other purpose.

Found in a field down the street in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Id corrections appreciated.
My #40 spider for this year.
The fish has entered the hoop – there are two infrared lights and receptor (creating a beam) that will be broken as his body enters. This is how our computer system detects the hoop swim.
Most of the range mapped for this species is in the Sonoran Desert of AZ... it may be found in about half of the state. It is regular in the Tucson area in both urban and desert settings. I believe this one to be male. I find them not too skittish... just move slowly when positioning for shots.
