Pupation announcement! A sequel to my original observation of the larvae. No warning this time because look how cute! On her blankie and everything 😭
I think this is 9.5 weeks after acquisition. Acquired in Belize (not by me!), brought to Texas in situ.

Esta araña se encontraba en una plantación de maracuyá, rondando por el suelo. El clima en este día y a esa hora estuvo muy nublado y fresco.

Melanistic and spotted! Near the Bologonja River just before reaching Gardenia Valley.
I was very surprised to see a black colored White-tailed Deer fawn this evening behind my house. I have seen some very dark White-tailed Deer in this area in the past:

but not one like this. These are just quick shots, taken against the light and as the deer were rapidly moving away, but this black fawn can be seen in company with normally colored fawns. I will be trying to get more and better shots in the next few days.
