A patch of habitat where I find a few T. ordinoides over many years. This place is in a very urban area of north Vancouver, WA (Hwy 99)

Hellow Concinnus,
thanks for this verry nice and, as the most important point, informative habitat-shots. Hope I can visite some places in one or two years closely with my family...

Best wishes, Robert

They seem to favor open grassy areas around the edges of woods or blackberry patches. Being near water helps but they can also be found miles from water. If the area is scattered with trash such as boards, tires, etc. then it's pretty easy to find them by "flipping"

Hi Robert,
nice shots. Is that in Texas? Near San Antonio? Which Reptiles lives
in that terrain?
Are there some points, where you can find some collared lizards? I love this land.
Greetings the other Robert

Hi all,
I send some pictures from Germany, of a bog in the lower level land. Unfortunately, Our greatest part of this landscape in the last centuries have disappeared and have maked way for modern cities, farmland and roads.
An intact nature is rare in Germany and all reptiles and amphibians are rare and threatened.
Here in this small habitat are living some from the last Common Viper (Vipera berus), the Grass snake (Natrix natrix), the Smooth Snake (Coronella austriaca), 2 Lizards, (Lacerta agilis, Zootoca vivipara) and 1 legless Lizard (Anguis fragilis).
Also some Amphibians.
Best wishes, Robert

Very cool robert. And that is a native mantis for once! Litaneutria obscura would be my guess. I have only found one once in my life, in the desert east of San Diego.
