took this through the screen on my back porch when I noticed this little addition to the House Sparrows
Tonight I gave a presentation to the Fort Worth Cactus and Succulent Society about future funding for wildlife conservation. Right beforehand, I noticed LOTS of partridge pea by the BRIT bioswales, so I explored a bit.
I would not have spotted this at all if it had not moved and I caught the movement out the corner of my eye. It blended in so well with the bark on the tree. It was sideways then turned to line up the black lines in its wing to blend into the bark.
I saw many Kern's Flower Scarabs on this day but this is the only Texas Flower Scarab.
