I've lived in South Texas all of my 41 years (except for 6 years in Boston) and I thought that I had seen every sort of creature that slithered, walked, crawled or swam in this area. Mostly because I always sought such things out. But never have I seen a CLICK BEETLE! Man o man...now thats something to be proud of! Hey...wait, I did see a rhinocerus beetle once. It was dead tho...probably from the heat! Well, in that case, I want to show all of ya'll a photo of whom I call "Big Mama." lol..she lives in my hybrid Crown of Thorns and hides everytime I come out onto my back porch. But that early morning, she was near one my hummer feeders and was reaching for a hummer in this photo! Just a common black female jumping spider...but beeeyootiful nonethless... :)
