Raging against the machine in Texas.
Mostly insects, plants, and fungi.
I’m definitely not an expert, but I am trying to teach myself about the natural world around me in an attempt to save it. My activism is largely just trying to steward the very tiny space I occupy.

I'm a gardener who prioritizes county specific native plants.
USDA zone 9B

A species of Leptoglossus (Leaf-footed bug) they are cute when they aren't on my tomatoes. This one is nectaring on a species of Oenethera, sold to me as Gaura (Oenothera lindheimeri), but it is bigger than any I've seen. This could be because it was (ethically) sourced from a wild population, or it's one of the many Oenothera species residing in the Coastal Tall Grass Prairies in my region. #entomology #nativeplants#rewilding #invertebrateconservation #invertebrates

Saved some of Monday's sunshine for a rainy day like today.

#Bumblebee visiting another white #flower in the garden, an Althea (aka Rose of Sharon). The #bumblebees seem to prefer white #flowers around the house, or maybe it just appears that way because they are more noticeable against the white.
