Conjunctivitis can cause crusty eyes like that.

No frogs, only Western toads. And a California newt. Probably. Nice pics!

Fair, like turtles and tortoises. At least if you throw a toad in the water they won't drown.

Yeah I thought that's why they have those crazy long legs, for wrapping up spiders without taking a bite.

Similar thing with birds, think they're might be a name for it too. Smaller birds know they can outmaneuver/ outrun you easily so they can afford to be more relaxed. Bigger birds take a bit more time to get moving and could theoretically get caught by a very swift human so they need to take off earlier.

Checkout this fatbutt P. audax! Biggest one I've seen for sure, looked like a carabid beetle from the underside on my window. Must be a gravid(?) female.

The Red Queen posted:I tend to forget wolf spider is an actual species name, because in a few places I've lived it's become a shorthand for "scary looking but actually harmless spider." So it'll be ascribed to fishing spiders, grass spiders, nursery web spiders, etc. Medium Brown Spiders, much like Little Brown Birds. But unlike little and big brown bats. Common names are a land of contrasts.

  Here's a big fat Bedstraw Hawk-moth caterpillar. And it's somewhat less chunky neighbor on my pants so you can admire its horn.

Scarodactyl posted:Phantom crane flies are fun. Just 5 dots floating eerily in the breeze (they never have all six). Hey thanks for putting a name to the weird guys I've seen around wetlands in Oregon. Though looks like maybe they're non-native, bummer...

Rove beetles don't have elytra, you can see that one folding up it's wings and putting them away. No clue on ID though.
