Hazy mid-summer day on the Sods, Part 1.
Photos are from the South Prong Trail, heading towards Roaring Plains. The pine barrens death camas (Stenanthium leimanthoides) growing in the bogs and seeps of the Plains is simply stunning this year. Such a toxic little beauty - death incarnate. Also, the mountain angelica (Angelica triquinata) is getting ready to bloom - I think of this tall, Appalachian endemic as the mid to late summer counterpart of cow parsnip. And how about that fabulous orange-fringed orchid (Platanthera ciliaris), which is just now reaching peak bloom in our high-elevation mountain bogs? The showy perennial is more commonly referred to as yellow-fringed orchid, but I have no clue why; every plant I've found in this neck of the woods has a hue similar to a Sunkist navel orange.

#0043 Northern Green Frog (Lithobates clamitans melanota)
Been thinking about doing a Frogs (and Toads!) of Virginia (USA) series. There are 28 of them, not counting the various subspecies. Hmmmmm....

This northern green frog (Lithobates clamitans melanota) was the chillest frog ever. Usually they scatter the moment they feel something coming, but I got my camera right up next to this one and it gave zero shits.

Sunday Birding 7/30/23
I had a lot of fun birding yesterday! Saw some of my favorite birds and a few new ones!!
I didn’t see as many around the pond, but I still saw my favorite funky lil’ guy, the green heron:
You can also see a frog in the left hand corner!
Some juvenile red-winged blackbirds:
A mourning dove:
I’ve been spotted!
At the arboretum, had to take some pictures of some pretty flowers:
some water lilies:
you can see another frog in this one!
A wild Kansas sunflower:
Big flower:
A turtle, relaxing out of the water:
Another big flower:
A butterfly! So pretty:
I saw so many of these guys out yesterday! A male northern cardinal:
I saw some more snowberry clearwings too:
Another male cardinal:
A wood pewee. There were two of these guys out, flying around, getting some bugs to eat:
A downy woodpeck, perched on top of a feeder:
A female cardinal, grabbing a treat:
A male indigo bunting! I met and helped a really nice older couple find this guy too. He was at the very top of the tree:
Some hummingbirds!
A male indigo bunting again, singing his little heart out:
Some pretty yellow flowers:
Some neat purple ones:
I thought this was a cool picture, an indigo bunting and an eastern bluebird:
I was SHOCKED when I saw this guy! A blue grosbeak!!! I almost confused him for an indigo bunting, but he’s too big, and you can see the brownish-red on his wings:
Some more water lily flowers:
Other neat flowers I saw:
A bee getting some pollen:
one last hummingbird:

There may or may not be a very rare species of frog living in my greenhouse
#i went in there to pick strawberries and got jumpscared by this weird beast#and i was like.. he looks fancy. he has these really bright green stripes on him#so i looked up some species to figure out what he is and i swear to god the only one that looks similar is northern pool frog#marsh frog is too big and common frog isn’t fancy enough#obviously i am probably just wrong and bad at species identification. given that i don’t live in norfolk which is supposed to be the only#place where these things are (apart from estonia apparently)#the guy’s just in there eating the snails that are trying to eat my strawberries. allegedly extinct#part of me is like ‘obviously you need to tell someone about this’ but also i’m worried i’ve identified it wrong#it could just be a small marsh frog#but its colours are so VIBRANT they’re like almost lime green. i’ve never seen a frog like this before#we normally get brown spotty frogs around here#the more photos i look at the more convinced i am that this is definitely a pool frog#whether it’s a northern pool frog specifically i am not sure. but it’s not a marsh frog and it’s DEFINITELY not a common frog#and it’s not a toad because it hopped. it’s a frog!!#frog has gotta be one of my favourite words honestly. it just sounds like what it is#personal

Biofluorescence may be widespread among amphibians
Biofluorescence, where organisms emit a fluorescent glow after absorbing light energy, may be widespread in amphibians including salamanders and frogs, according to a study in Scientific Reports.
Previous research has shown that biofluorescence is common in various animals like cnidarians, arthropods, and certain fishes. However, not much has been explored about its presence in land-dwelling creatures. Now, exciting new studies reveal that biofluorescence is widespread among amphibians, especially salamanders! These amazing creatures, found mostly in the northern hemisphere, exhibit a variety of glowing patterns. Under blue light, salamanders emit green light, creating stunning fluorescent displays. This glow is not limited to any specific family of salamanders, showcasing incredible diversity. The discovery of biofluorescence in these vertebrates opens up new avenues for research into their ecology, evolution, and behavior...
