Looks like chicken mole. Hope to try it sometime (maybe at a more simple restaurant).

That’s what the three shells are for.
Calculations are simpler if …….. you assume a spherical cow!
iNaturalist is definitely a good suggestion, but it is NOT an assassin bug, wrong markings and body form. It looks to be in the genus Alysus. Here’s what iNaturalist gave me as a likely hit. Also, I’d recommend the Seek app (it’s associated with iNaturalist) over iNaturalist app for casual users as it gives quick likely identifications through real-time image matching and does not require engaging the broader iNaturalist community.

It’s a fish bone, but not sure what species or part of the skeleton. I’ve seen many on beaches around the Gulf of Mexico.
It was based on good old fate and transport processes and plenty of scientific data (as opposed to made up hearsay?). It served us well for that sucky situation we were in. .
Waiting for the gang to leave for their nightly feed. They didn’t leave until after sunset this evening.
C/soil science is a great community with well laid out general soil science information. What a great resource!

Australian coffee shops are the best.
I think either way it’s taken from our pockets.
My wife got sick as a dog after eating chocolate chip cookie dough. She spent a whole day going between bed and the bathroom. Strangely enough, she still eats raw cookie dough. Having gone through it with her, I don’t even like the fake/safe cookie dough in ice cream.
The little guy tries an evasive maneuver against the hawk.
Most every night, raptors line up for the bat buffet at Bracken Cave Preserve. The bats pour out of the cave for about 3 hours. he bats exiting is a swarming defense strategy to not getting eaten. When you see a young or sick bat stray from the main cloud of bats, the raptors take advantage of the opportunity. Here is one of several hawks that feeds daily before dusk. After dusk, the owls own the skies here in our little Texas wildlife preserve.
Here’s a happy snap from a recent emergence at Bracken Cave Preserve. These are Mexican Free-tailed bats that are part of the maternal colony that summers here in the Texas hill country. We host the colony of approximately 20 million bats from spring to fall. It takes 3+ hours for colony to leave the cave and they’re pretty orderly about it.
