Bayou trail photos: snakes, turtles, insect


I'm not sure what the top snake is--probably a non-poisonous water snake, but could be a cottonmouth with a seasonal coloring different from the usual dull coloring.  I didn't want to get close enough to find out. The bottom snake is a racer, also known hereabouts as a blue racer, a non-poisonous land-dwelling snake.
I didn't set these turtles up for this photo, they were caught in the act and being shy about it.
Dead locust.
