Neighbor owls are the best. I walk past this one sitting out every morning when I leave and on the way home most nights.   Also, no more mice in our attic since it showed up! Alpenglow fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Feb 7, 2019 |

Trying to identify a lizard, not having much luck with internet sites that want to tell me about oddball lizards rather than just showing me what's around.  SD 197 Dragon by Martin Brummell, on FlickrWe took this picture on Saturday. We're in Armidale, NSW, Australia, and we were driving around about 30 km east of town when we came across this guy sunning on rocks in a nearly-dry creekbed.

poverty goat posted:No pics because it was far away and silhouetted against the sunset, but I just saw a HUGE horned owl on my neighbor's roof. This is the first time I've ever seen one in the wild around here. This is apparently an omen of bad luck, illness or death. a few days after this I had a death in the family. dont gently caress with owls and hold your loved ones close when owls are afoot

Looks a lot like a brown colour morph of Eastern water dragon. Possibly a juvenile?

Possibly a juvenile? This is the same answer as Twitter came up with. My fiancee, who actually took the picture using my camera, posted to her Twitter with the same question and given that she follows / is followed by a whole bunch of naturalists of various stripes, I'm pretty confident that you both are correct. Thank you!

You know--I went looking and apparently there is a relatively common peach morph to an introduced species from the UK, see here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/552176 and here https://wormman.blog/armadillidium-nasatum-peach-isopod-care-sheet/ So it could be that! I honestly know about zilch about isopods so I figured it was doing that thing lots of exoskeleton havers do where they start white and gradually darken.

If I'd ever get around to setting up a habitat and keeping some like I mean to, I'd know, but the time gets away from me. I'm in central Kentucky in a smallish town and am surprised at what a fantastic variety we have here.

This fuzzy friend decided to help out when I was weeding my planter by dropping out of the tree onto my head. Antheraea polyphemus, in upstate South Carolina. I relocated him to the woods behind my house.

Had a female Callosamia promethea emerge today from a cocoon I found wild the other week. I like big butts, and I cannot lie.   They have a ton of sexual dimorphism, the males are shiny blue-black with tan highlights.

My ignorance is showing here, but all three of those types look like wolf spiders to me, just at different scales. Are they related or is it totally superficial?

I don't know how closely related they are but pisaurids and wolf spiders are often confused, yeah. I will admit that I said it was Dolomedes based entirely on the shape of the prosoma ("head") and the white racing stripes. I could be very wrong. A way more reliable way is to look at the eyes, but none of those pictures make that possible. Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Apr 24, 2019 |

Lots of wolf spiders have the stripes too (like the awesomely named "rabid wolf spider" in particular) so that doesn't end up being much help. Glad I'm not alone in mixing them up anyway.

Glad I'm not alone in mixing them up anyway. Yeah I'll probably concede my ID now that I think about it. The spider I mentioned tends to be very large anyway.
