A Geron bee fly for #invertefest - this one has found one of our mistflowers, and is spending several minutes there -
Here's another inverted invertebrate for #InverteFest - Texas wasp moth, Horama panthalon, hanging in the mistflowers -
An inverted invertebrate for #invertefest - this is a filmy dome spider, Neriene radiata. Instead of pretty spiral webs, they make these sort of amorphous, dome-like webs, and hang out inside them -
Here's another colorful moth. It's a Texas wasp moth, Horama panthalon, for #invertefest. I sure thought it was a wasp as it hung out in the mistflowers -
Here's a Carmenta bassiformis clearwing moth for #InverteFest - one of the more interesting and unusual little critters I've run across -
