Attended a TPWD wildlife diversity staff meeting at Camp Buckner in Burnet. This is a really nice facility with lots of cool wildlife all around. Posted these observations with permission from staff at Camp Buckner.

Stayed an extra day down in the valley during the nature center conference and went to Resaca de la Palma state park to explore a bit and black light later. It was great fun! :)

I've got a lot of work to do on these ID's though... Many of these are just tentative ID's.

Had a wonderful time with environmental educators at the TAEE conference at Lakeview Methodist Conference Center. I put up a few blacklights and a mercury vapor the first night to see what may show up the second evening.

All of these observations are uploaded with permission of land owners and managers of the conference center.

Had a great time helping out with the Wildlife Conservation Camp at the Clear Fork Ranch. I talked a bit about iNaturalist, led a mothing program, caught some dragonflies, and talked a bit about plants. Great fun!

I love the Lower Rio Grande Valley! I was lucky to do some black-lighting at a few of the Las Palomas WMA's (locations obscured) and so many bugs showed up. :)

Will work a lot on the ID's of these -- just uploading them first.
