Kevin Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 @Seanbirds I have a few for you.... This little guy was nearly 400 foot above the nearest water, but to me looked like a water turtle of some sort. This was in the very south east corner of Oklahoma. Really I am amazed I saw it it was so small, and blended in perfectly with the ground. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your little guy is NOT a water lover. Please don't dump him in the pond thinking you're doing him a favor. He'll DROWN. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I have moved a turtle, was moving it out of the middle of the road. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There've been a couple of incidents around here when well-intentioned individuals 'returned' critters to what they thought were the correct environments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 @Seanbirds I understand it is missing part of it shell, but I don't remember ever seeing one of these. Sorry for the bad photos, it moved pretty fast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 That looks a lot like a wingless wasp known in the southeast as a 'Red Velvet Ant'. Also known as a 'Cow-killer Ant', since the bite is most entertaining. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that is what it is, for one I see those, and this does not look like one at all, it's body build is totally different, and the coloring isn't really the same, also this bug was trying to fly. I could be wrong, but I don't really think so, lets see what @Seanbirds has to say. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I saw my first Gray Fox during the day yesterday! Previously I've only seen them late at night, usually while owling. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
