Yesterday I found the biggest wine cap I've ever seen. This mushroom is native to Europe but is common in North America but only in man-made environments, especially woodchips. I'm trying to grow a little patch of them in my front yard but nothing so far.
Back at home, this redback climbed up into the dogwater and couldn't get out. I wasn't sure it was alive at first, but when I touched it it tried to wriggle away. Can lungless animals drown? (Yes, I would guess, if immersed in water that was not highly oxygenated enough).
When I removed the cover from our grill, this spider was hunkered down on the propane tank. I pestered it a little to see if I could ID it but it remains unknown. Cool markings on the abdomen, though!
