Bugs and other creepy crawlies

A photolist of some of the insects/bugs/critters I saw recently in various locations:
My mayfly friend getting a free ride while I was driving the boat through Buffalo Cove

 Snake skeleton near Ramah, Louisiana

 Paper pondshell mussel (Utterbackia imbecillis) from LSU lakes

 Cow killer outside LSU

 Xenox tigrinus (Tiger bee fly) in Mobile, Alabama

 Fish fly, rescued from the office building

Green tree frog near the LSU lakes

 Okay, these last two are just coffee mugs picturing insects, but I'm still counting them. Apparently a previous visiting researcher from Asia had a thing for entomology and left these mugs as his legacy. (Honeypot ants and leaf cutter ants)
