We visited the Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary near Naples Florida. Its contains the largest stand of ancient bald cypress left in North America.
Many of the trees hosted epiphytes. I learned that they aren't parasites, but take nutrients from falling organic debris.
This guy is a southeastern Lubber grasshopper. I'm told they don't fly but instead smell bad to ward off predators.
We also saw lots of Kelly's nemesis, the Gray Squirrel.
