Macro lens for phone (or camera) is an amazing tool for entomologists of any collar color or size. (No jumping spiders were harmed in the making of this video, and yeah that's a beer glass.) Arthropods are fantastical and endlessly fascinating. Happy sheet bugging to your 12!

I mean, look who my wife invited to her pulpit in Lubbock TX this AM. Talerico's sermon this AM, from Luke 10, at 1:25 into recording at www.youtube.com/live/1ULsFjk...

Meep meep! One of these literally led me up the last 100 yards or so of (steep) trail to the base of "The Lighthouse" formation in Palo Duro Canyon a few months ago. Roadrunner kept looking back at me like, "C'mon slowpoke, keep up please!" #birds

Same, except for the dogs. Only one dog, still here, but she is kinda mourning the loss of her new favorite human toy, Mitch. Ungrateful bitch.

They look cute enough, but deep down they're cunning and evil. But then again, some mornings that's my dog.

(Somewhere in the Panhandle, yesterday morning) HER: "You sure you want the Spanish sticker, hun?" Me: "Escuche, señora voluntaria para votar. Con el debido respeto, tengo una nota de 86 en Duolingo y me GANÉ esa pegatina en pretérito. Espera...y a la cárcel con todos los criminales fascistas.
