September 2005 Adventures at Norman Wilderness

During several trips to the Norman Wilderness during September, there were a lot of interesting things to see.

Fascicled False Foxglove, a common Southern Plains prairie wildflower.	Liatris blooming against the characteristic red soil.
Prairie Larkspur.	Prairie Snow-on-the-Mountain.
A carniverous dragonfly that was catching butterflies.	Glossy Snake.
An unidentified red-backed jumping spider.	A Tarantula Hawk--these parasitize tarantulas.
Rough Green Snake climbing a tree. It is strange to have arboreal snakes around.	Another Rough Green Snake against the red soil.
Yet another Rough Green Snake on the trail.
