Where I live I see many organisms on a daily basis. Since I live in the hill country I see deer all the time. I have also seen wild boars and a russian boar. There are also jack rabbits and road runners on our property. I live 5 min. from Medina Lake and see different wild life around it.
This is a picture of some daddy long legs on the side of my house. They have been around the house all summer long. I have noticed that there are fewer and fewer as summer is ending. During the summer I have found them in the house as well but only if the doors are left open for a long period of time.
This is a spider with a really cool web. I noticed this just two days ago. I really hate spiders but can't help but be fascinated by the designs on its body and how bit it is. Just last week at a friend place on the lake I saw a similiar spider which was very large that looked exactly the same as this one.
This is my beta fish. I love his colors. I brought him home two years ago when a man brought several beta to the school I worked at and was giving them away for free. I have him on my kitchen counter. I love to watch his behaviors and find I learn from him. I liked to compare what I see at the lake to how he behaves. He is a very aggresive fish.
This is a praying mantis on my humming bird feeder. This guy has been hanging out here all week. I have kicked him off several times but he seems to climb back up. I noticed my other two humming bird feeders are empty except this one. I have watched humming birds fly by this one but don't land on it. I blame the praying mantis for scarying off my humming birds.
I was unable to take a picture of the many scorpions that have been in my home I was even stung by one over the summer. I spotted three last week in the same day. I think the rainy weather had something to do with that.
