Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Palm Beach County, FL, U.S. - January 8, 2021: A White Ibis turns to look at me. It's at that moment I notice his amputated foot. What happened I wonder? And how does he get along? Does he roost in the trees with the others at night? He looks pretty healthy regardless.
Comanche Grasslands, LaJunta, CO United States - October 02, 2021: Oklahoma Brown Tarantula males gain sexual maturity around 8-10 years of age. When the hormones begin rumbling, the males start their "migration" looking for the females with whom to breed. It's only during this time that these little spiders come out of their burrows in the grasslands, and become vulnerable to predators including the Tarantula Hawk - a beautifully colored Spider Wasp that preys upon these arachnids for food and egg laying. Moving slowly across the roads, many are also killed by vehicles.
