Bugs don't just walk. They fly. They crawl. They bite. They do all
kinds of interesting things like spin webs. And they morph. Humans
don't morph. Bugs morph. Butterflies didn't start out as butterflies. We
learn so much from observation and someone willing to share their
knowledge.

The San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance is honored to
share the knowledge of individuals who have attended, or are attending,
Texas State University in pursuit of higher learning. Leading our
monthly bug walks is Gabby Cole, a master's program candidate in
Biology.
We should probably call it an
arthopod walk as there is much more than insects. For the second time, an even dozen joined our expert for an exploration walk. We found so many different creatures under leaves, on cactus pads and, of course, in the nectar of numerous flowering plants.
Visit San Marcos Bug Walk on Facebook for the location of the next hike, generally two days before the event. -- LJ
