Awesome pictures. Thanks for posting them
Brings back a memory of an experience I had.
One of the part-time jobs I held for a couple of summers was working in the garden area of a Home Depot store as a cashier. One of the things we had for sale were these little pods containing unhatched Praying Mantis. Well late August (IIRC) rolled around and they started hatching. We soon had literally thousands of these little buggers crawling everywhere . . . on the counters, on the cash registers, on the shelves, on us . . . just everywhere!
Between serving customers we (the other 'garden' employees & I) ran around scooping these guys into styrofoam coffee cups and running over to dump them onto the racks of plants we had for sale
. Just a fond memory of a crazy time 
What a poser...

Virginia live oaks at a sugar cane plantation in Louisiana near New Orleans. Base on one is almost 20’ in diameter.

We hunt them lil suckers with a black light at night. Nothing and nobody gets away with messing with my maters.
The 10 acre place we had in Old Town FL had monster live oaks that were a sight to see with the Spainish moss hanging from it. The Suwannee river held plenty of gators but we never choose to get up close.
