Re: Show your Bugs and Critters
Thank you! Sorry the middle shot is poor. It is a bunch of bats in an old house in the Smokies. I was shooting handheld in low light and had to really jack up the ISO to get a high shutter speed. I didn’t want to use a flash for fear of disturbing the bats!

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters
Cool! Always fun to see deer! The woods are so thick here that I usually only get a quick glimpse of any wildlife before it disappears into the underbrush!Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 02, 2025 12:56 pmVery awesome !

Salamander in the Smokies. These always remind me of the Ray Bradbury book "Fahrenheit 451".

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters
Ginger was doing her snake bark
but only intermittently
and without much gravitas.
She had found another shed skin
a bit over four feet long.


Probably the same snake I've seen before.

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters

I was checking the garden recently and saw a half eaten cucumber hanging near the ground so I looked around and saw this box turtle upside down… I don’t have a clue how long he’d been there but he was still alive so I cut up the cuke and set him down inches away then walked away…came back about 15/20 minutes later and he was eating it
