The diversity of invertebrate life on the Llano Estacado astounds even seasoned high plains dwellers. Here is a retrospective about the endless magic of the prairie ecosystem.
I enjoy the thrill of the hunt, the crawling on my belly, the patient jockeying for position to get my camera within inches of elusive quarry. I want to capture the invertebrate fauna of the Llano in its natural setting. This means researching and then studying my subjects in the field to become familiar with feeding habits and survival tactics.
