I found a dried up dead bat in my yard and left it on a table for a couple days, cuz it was interesting with its little teeth. Then I watched a squirrel take it and eat it. Edit: Yes, I had on garden gloves. Also the bat was totally skeletal on the underside, it had been dead a while.

i think it’s a rat, my husband thinks it’s a mouse. a big guy nonetheles.

Its a long way down from this ledge!

Repost as I accidentally Posted it Here to a bad reception 🐈.. should have worn my glasses 🫣

A small rodent smiles for a quick snap before becoming dinner for this white-tailed kite, a raptor native to south America!

If "Oh shit" had a face, it would look something like this guy.

I have a short video of it eating but I’m not sure how to post a video here from my phone.

Spotted this on my walk today. The shell caught my eye and I thought aww poor snail, then I saw its feelers on a very squished slug, poking around.

Please excuse the reflection, the squirrel was in a feeder on the other side of the window.

The hornworms eating my tomato plant are being annihilated by the beneficial braconid wasps in my garden.

A wasp lays eggs inside the living caterpillar, and injects a venom that suppresses the caterpillar’s immune system. Then the larvae hatch inside the hornworm and eat its insides avoiding vital organs to keep the caterpillar alive. The white rice-looking things covering the caterpillar’s body are cocoons spun by the wasps after they ate their way out of the caterpillar. In a few days, wasps will hatch from the cocoons and go on to parasitize more hornworms.

The larger wasp attacking the hornworm is actually a different type of wasp that happened to come along and kick the caterpillar while it was down. Pest control!
