White-banded fishing spider.
Coming up on the WFSU Ecology Blog: Just in time for Halloween, we spend a night hunting creepy crawlies around Lake Talquin. We also head to the Okefenokee Swamp with alligator researchers to - cautiously - survey a nest with a protective mother. And we head back to the Apalachicola River floodplain for a different kind of adventure than we've had there in the past.

iNaturalist

iNaturalist became a part of the WFSU Ecology Blog during the EcoCitizen Project in 2019.  Since then, we’ve used it to help identify the many plants and animals we see on our shoots.  And on the Backyard Blog, we show how it can be used to identify weeds and garden insects, to help figure out what’s beneficial or a possible pest.  Below is the iNaturalist profile belonging to WFSU Ecology producer Rob Diaz de Villegas.
