San Diego CA-herping and buggin'

CodeWilster · San Diego CA-herping and buggin'

Over Labor day weekend I flew down to San Diego. Did some jet skiing, parasailing, boogie-boarding, bodysurfing and whatnot all with my Aunt Laura, but that was only half the trip!!!! I spent a couple days with my friend Kyle Dickerson as well. We had a super spectacular time (well at least I did). Anyway I'll cut the rest and get straight to the pics. Hope you guys enjoy!

Oh and sorry Kyle for shutting your trunk right smack on your noggin'

I made a run for it but Kyle wasn't so fortunate...

This was the rock-crawling, snake-finding, bird-terminating, little red racer of the trip for sure.

"Aaaahh man!!!"

Super exciting find for me...

Things started getting a bit frisky and so it was time to go home...

Thanks again Kyle for an amazing trip.

P.S. More pics and info on the trapdoor spiders will be posted in my other thread as soon as I can find the time here in the next few days...

nice pics! looks like a lot of fun

what species of myg are all those slings?

CodeWilster

Those are all Bothriocyrtum californicum. There were actually a lot more than that but once we opened the trapdoor they all ran down to their mommy :)

Sweet write-up, Cody! Thanks for coming down. I had an awesome time as well. I always enjoy showing (trusted) individuals around. I'll post the pics of the ones I took once I get some time.

You've gotta come down in the spring though! The desert is totally different and specacular! Here's what the area where I took you looked like this past spring.

We parked on the corner of the road in this pic.

Here's the little yellow flowers everywhere I was telling you about.

Green around the burrows

Sorry, I don't have any pics of the cacti in bloom, but they're just as spectacular!

Thanks for posting! I saw those pics after you told me to do some digging on AB, really nice out there. I will certainly try to make it out again at a different time of year. Feel free to post the other pics you took.

Thanks again Kyle I really had a blast. Let me know if you ever want to make it up here. I owe you a nice guided NorCal trip :)

Sorry Ricky! Let me know if you ever make it up pretty far north and maybe I'll show you around my neck of the woods :)
