Tenuirostritermes cinereus is a species of termite in the higher-termite family Termitidae. This nomadic species is distributed throughout much of the Chihuahuan Desert and can usually be found forming long trails at night. I have personally observed workers, always accompanied by soldiers on guard, swarming over dried Quercus and Neltuma leaves. The soldiers of Nasutitermitine termites are unique in that they are typically smaller than workers and possess an elongated nozzle-like rostrum which is used to spray defensive secretions at would-be predators.
These seem to turn up in Early Feb each year, some with the wings still on. This appeared in the kitchen sink ;-)

Here is a Trashline Orb Weaver (Cyclosa, Araneidae) spider with its prey on our upstairs deck a few days ago. It's a male, as evidenced by his swollen palps. These spiders always have that odd hump on their abdomen. I'm not sure what its prey is -- maybe a winged (alate) Termite (order Isoptera)? I already have my two photos for the Web Wednesday group, but Happy Web Webnesday anyway! (San Marcos Pass, 2 February 2025)
