Yesterday I went to a park with a creek and a lake.
I saw this insect on a tree. I tried to look it up on the Virginia list of Insect Identification. I did not find it but it looked similar to a Spotted Tree Borer or a White Oak Tree Borer. I looked up Borers and found it also looks similar to the Sculpted Pine Borer. I will have to keep researching. I should have taken a picture of the tree it was on.
We had some nets and some containers. We filled the containers with some water and then dragged the nets along the still areas of the creek. We found mainly tadpole and a few types of water insects. I also found something that looked like a fairy shrimp!
All the tadpoles were less than an inch and had back legs. Except one was about 1 1/2" and didn't have legs yet. Maybe it was a Bull Frog that was made from the water monster by Koluscap in the Micmac legend.
I hope to go to play in the creek again and I will bring my fishing pole.
