My friend, Nick, likes to invent games and organize sporting events. A recent creation was to devise a way to be able to play Ultimate Frisbee after dark (since we’re into autumn here and the evenings are getting darker earlier and earlier every day). Since…
A variety of reptiles and amphibians from various hikes around PA…
A video compilation of various insets and arachnids that I encountered while out hiking recently. I couldn’t decide on music for this video, and I was going to annotate it with some info about what is happening in the video, but I ended up not…
I took these videos of these American Giant Millipedes (Narceus americanus) over a month ago while I was hiking in McConnells Mill State Park. I recently decided to put them together and make a semi-educational video similar to the Weaver Ants video I made while…

A couple more of those Red-Spotted Newts (Notophthalmus v. viridescens).
Spotted (pun intended) these guys while out hiking on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail… though with that bright orange color, they certainly stand out. Red-spotted Newts (Notophthalmus v. viridescens).
I spotted this while out on a recent hike and instantly knew I should take some photos… And I also took a quick shot from a distance to show what I was actually photographing…
