OtherPix: 15: Prey
The third reason why this site on Tenerife was so remarkable was the vegetation itself, which contained large patches of (what we believe to be) Bristly Foxtail (Setaria verticillata), an invasive and noxious grass species. And while the Banded Garden Spiders (see the previous photo) had made dozens of victims among the Red-Veined Darter population, the Bristly Foxtail had made hundreds. Some of the seed heads had three or four dead Darters sticking to them. Looking at scenes like this we thought: What a pointless waste.
