Victim of controlled burn. First impression is cottonmouth, but copperheads are common at this location, and it’s burned/bloated.

Location accurate, collected 4 specimens (**actually three! they ate the wimpiest male before I could get ethanol to specimen-ize them) and a soil sample from the pool, hopefully containing eggs. Possible first record in Florida??

This was crazy! Not too sure why (or how), but this wasp definitely stung the dragonfly, took it down, and maybe was eating it? Definitely something I've never seen before. My fear of wasps didn't help while I was photographing it and just looking at these photos again is giving me chills.

Found it basking on a very cold morning. The signs don't lie! It is also nearly toothless at the moment. No idea if that's common or normal.
