I was quite surprised at the speed of these predators. This one saw a grasshopper in the distance, out the corner of his eye. In a flash he dashed over the 60 feet of rocky terrain and pounced upon the grasshopper before it had a chance to hop away!

I found this gal in the middle of the road in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma. I stopped, picked her up out of harm's way, and placed her in some vegetation several paces off of the dangerous roadway ... of course I couldn't help but to place her atop this pretty rock for a few pictures first!
