Hard Summer
Lack of rainfall can take a toll on many aquatic species. The gar with its unique swim bladder functions as a primitive lung and allows them to live in water with little to no oxygen. Gar can only survive as long as the water covers their body. (the death of this gar was more than likely the result of predation from a raccoon or possibly bobcat)

This Praying Mantis is waiting patiently for a meal. Although insects are the main diet of the mantis, it is not uncommon for them to prey upon small frogs, fish, snakes, birds, and even rodents. They would pretty much devour anything they could effectively capture.
