Nature Report 5!

Longhorn beetle? I think this is a longhorn beetle.
I don't know what type of spider this is, I thought it was a brown recluse but, it was black some i'm not sure. By the way don't look up brown recluse spider on Google images, just don't!

Muscovy duck, it is a type of duck . I've learned that they are hardy and shouldn't be feed wet food or, they could aspirate, meaning their lungs are have too much water in them. That is what happened to the ducks that were taken to the shelter. The people that feed them before they gave them to the shelter, fed them wet bread that is causing most of them to aspirate and get pneumonia. Speaking of ducks, I hope they recover, i'm pretty sure that other one was put to sleep. They were being taken care of by a supervisor who has been giving them shots, they said they will tell me how they are doing, will let y'all know once I find out!

Black and Yellow butterfly that I saw while riding my bike on the trail, this isn't my picture, I couldn't get a picture because it flew away to quickly.

Some pictures from George Bush park.

Weird worm that I found on the cat food plate that I used to feed the opossums and raccoon's with.

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea

I've Found More Trails to Explore!

Uh-oh look at my bike, it's caked in mud! This picture was taken yesterday after I had ridden in the ant hills which is a dirt trail. Unfortunately for me it had rained on Wednesday and Thursday so, the trail was all muddy. I had to scrub hard to wash all the dirt off. There still is some dirt on the pedals and tires but, other than that it's pretty clean. I think I should have waited until the dirt dried up.
