Really is amazing . What are your plans with your fossils ? Mount them ? Dan
I'm thinking of shadow box setups for some that do not have backs with fossils. Others with fossils on each side will go on easel stands.

This could be cool, probably will need a lot more material since a lot of what I got is small.

Carolina Sphinx
Yellow-Striped Armyworm and Fall Armyworm
Armyworms are dreaded here
because they can reduce a pasture to nothing
in a matter of days.
This picture of a Fall Armyworm was taken September 2018.
The characteristic inverted V on the head is clearly visible.

Last night at 10:30,
Ginger was barking her snake alert bark.
While I was trying to pound the Copperhead
with the blunt end of a 1x2 stake
Ginger picked it up and shook it, three times,
before I could finish off the unlucky reptile
and dispatch it to viper valhalla.
Somehow, Ginger avoided being bitten.
In the past, two other dogs were not that fortunate.
Forgive my snake whacking insensitivity,
but rest easy.
Except for poisonous snakes,
this yard is a snake sanctuary.

No harm or foul from me and don’t blame you one bit . I personally can’t picture my reaction seeing a poisonous snake other than it needs to go . I must confess I miss eating a Rattlesnake filet once a year when a buddy would come back from out West .

We dispatch em all the time on tree jobs, especially when someone wants an old firewood pile removed

Carolina Stagmomantis Mantid
After you have sex one time
she has the decency to bite your head off immediately
instead of making you pay for it for decades.
An unidentified species of Tylobolus Spirobolid Millipede.

Wife disturbed a nest under railing on deck and was stung this afternoon. Nest was in full swing until I sprayed them . Dan

European Paper Wasp
Not to be confused with a Yellow Jacket
which lacks the orange tipped antennae.
An antihistamine like Benadryl
can relieve that icky sick feeling
and calm the sting.
Also, aloe vera applied directly to the sting
can relieve the heat, pain and discomfort.
Some better pictures today . Dan
