And I found this little (about 5-6 mm long) black beetle swimming in a large puddle out back. The net wasn&#8217;t really designed as an aquatic net, but [...]]]></description>

The previous cellar-spider pictures were, frankly, kind of lousy, so hopefully these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We caught a number of these soft-winged beetles in broad daylight on July 12, 2011. They were just about a centimeter long, and pretty easy to catch and photograph. Which implies that they aren&#8217;t accustomed to fleeing from predators. Which further implies that they are not good to eat. These look to me like a [...]]]></description>
