This very creepy looking sight is the shedded skin of a dragonfly (or darner) larva. Supposedly a dragonfly emerged from it. Lake Cunningham, San Jose, California, Sept 2023

Seems like the smaller one has disappeared and the larger one is still on the zinnia. San Jose, California, Sept 2023

Hard to see, but there are two mantids in this photo. I wonder if they are the same subspecies and if the smaller one is hiding from the bigger one. Also not sure if they are the same sex, males are usually smaller and get devoured by the larger female before/during/after mating! San Jose, California, Sept 2023.

Solidarity with my former City of San Jose colleagues as they strike for better wages! ✊🏼
Employees for the city are overworked and underpaid. San Jose is one of the most expensive cities to live in, and yet employees are not paid livable wages. Many are forced to live further away and deal with supercommutes, while some have been forced into homelessness by the low pay.

Can you guess what these interesting looking “fruits” are?
Turns out they aren’t fruits at all. These are galls created by the tree in response to Gall Wasps laying eggs in trees stems. This is a one sided relationship where the tree redirects nutrients to the gall to feed the wasp larva.
