GPS Location: 29.509745, -98.758788

Locality: San Antonio, TX: Outside residence
Other Notable Information: This small spider was inside a covered light fixture by the garage. The light is yellow light, to repel pests, and there are never any flying bugs around these lights, so I don't think this was a permanent home. There were also no webs that I could see. The spider didn't seem bothered by me taking pictures.

Other Notable Information: I've seen these deer before. They only come out at night, after 9pm or so, and they travel with many females and sometimes babies, and usually one male running around nearby. They don't mind cars unless you stop to stare at them (or try to take their picture).

Locality: San Antonio, TX; By the front door.
Other Notable Information: There's lots of these little snails around the front door of my house, near the garage door, etc. Always on the brick, like they're attracted to it. I'll have to start investigating what they like about the bricks. They don't seem to enjoy the regular concrete ground or wooden door nearly as much.

Locality: San Antonio, TX; On the way to the neighborhood park.
Other Notable Information: These beetles were a lot more round than the beetles I saw in Maryland, or more oval shaped. Less sharp angles out of the body. They were also a lot faster, I had to chase one down. Very mobile at night, restless.

GPS Location: 29.509712, -98.755225

Locality: San Antonio, TX; By neighborhood park.
Other Notable Information: This cricket is very different from the several cricket types I saw in Maryland. Browner than the dark black field cricket I saw, and very different from the camel and house crickets. It's weird what a few thousand miles can change. Interested to see what kind of cricket the community tells me it is.

Other Notable Information: This little toad was very quiet and calm. I was able to get very close to him and he didn't jump or twitch. He must have been afraid, though, because he faced the wall and avoided moving. He did hop off as soon as I left his vicinity.

Temperature: 61 F

Weather Conditions: Sunny
GPS Location: 38.944953, -76.729247

Locality: Bowie, Maryland; In residence.
Other Notable Information: These crickets love to climb walls, ceilings, furniture, etc. They are silent and I haven't noticed them chirping, unlike other species in my area. They are stealthy. They are great jumpers and they jump very high. I notice these about 40% of the time, and then have also noticed some House Crickets maybe 20% along with Field Crickets 40% inside and outdoors.

Camel Crickets, Cave Crickets, and Cave Wēta (Family Rhaphidophoridae)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Camel Crickets, Cave Crickets, and Cave Wēta in October 2022 by pandablue. Different species of cricket, much scarier. Not sure what the scientific name is, but I looked it...

# data[].attributes.body
Phylum: Anthropoda
Class: Arachnida
Date: October 16, 2022
Time: 11:28pm CST
Temperature: 57 F

Weather Conditions: Rainy
GPS Location: 38.945105, -76.729713

Locality: Bowie, Maryland; In residence.
Other Notable Information: These are the stuff of nightmares, and they are coming inside more and more frequently as the crickets ramp up. I believe these spiders can hear the crickets inside and come looking for them. They do not build webs, as far as I've noticed, and move around A LOT. I've caught several on the walls, mad dashing across the floor, generally on adventures and never sitting still. I read that they are not poisonous, but that does nothing to help the fact that they are humongous and terrifying to behold. They mostly leave me alone and go still as soon as I notice them. They jump a little, but mostly run fast. This is not the largest I've seen by half.

Weather Conditions: Rainy
GPS Location: 38.945163, -76.7296

Locality: Bowie, Maryland; In residence.
Other Notable Information: There are several of these black beetles that make their way inside. They remind me of the water beetles in Texas. They are becoming more frequent with the cold and the rain. Mostly not destructive or difficult to deal with. They seem pretty aimless, just wandering around for food and warmth, but easy prey to the spiders. They get stuck on their backs a lot.

Weather Conditions: Rainy
GPS Location: 38.945153, -76.729575

Locality: Bowie, Maryland; In residence.
Other Notable Information: I have noticed a few of these around and they seem mostly harmless. I do not think they live very long, as I usually find them dead. They seem pretty aimless, and I find them near the restroom most often, but just like, on the ground or near the door. I'm not sure if they are attracted to moisture or if that is just a coincidence.

Weather Conditions: Cloudy/Night
GPS Location: 38.835658, -76.644853

Locality: Bowie, Maryland; In residence.
Other Notable Information: I see about 40% field cricket out of the several crickets I've noticed in abundance the last few weeks. Field Crickets are the most bouncy of the crickets and the loudest, I've noticed. The camel crickets seem to make no noise while the field crickets keep me up at night, some chirp for hours without stopping for a moment. I believe the house crickets are the ones that chirp only once or twice every few hours. I've learned a lot about animals and especially crickets in this area paying attention while working on this project! Yikes!

Locality: Bowie, Maryland; At park, by pond.
Other Notable Information: This little turtle hopped off a rock and swam over near me, to where I was standing on the pier, and hung out underneath where I was. I think he may have thought I was going to toss down food. He was not afraid of me and was eager to stay close by. There were other turtles that did not come up to me. They weren't clustered together, but were all basking on their own rocks and tree trunks.
