Life of a biologist in the east coast winter.

Happy Saturday Folks. Enjoy this peaceful scene of a European Mantis taking in warm beach rays from this past October.

An Arizona Black Rattlesnake found one morning in a high elevation stand of ponderosa pine. I was stunned by its beauty and overall mild temperament, extremely similar to that of timber rattlesnakes here in the East.

One of my personal favorites from this past year.

An absolutely laughable amount of Sonoran Desert Toads (Incilius alvarius) eating insects off of this gas station wall in southern Arizona this past summer.

Happy Saturday everyone! Here’s an Eastern Hognose (Heterodon platirhinos) illustration that I’ve been working on for an exciting new project. It’s not quite finished yet but it’s getting there!

Eastern Milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum) from a humid summer’s day this past year.

First post here! No better way to kick it off than with these goofy looking toads found this past spring- The Eastern Spadefoot

These goobers spend most of the year underground, emerging only during heavy rainfall to try and find a mate.
