Eight years ago, during a campaign for Texas attorney general, Justin Nelson ran television advertisements with security camera footage of Ken Paxton pocketing an expensive pen that didn't belong to him.
Four years ago, George P. Bush went after Paxton by putting up billboards that said "he's a crook" next to his mugshot from when he was charged with securities fraud.
And earlier this year, U.S. Sen John Cornyn said "judgment day is coming" as he tried…

Ken Paxton has survived years of scandals. Can James Talarico change that?

I took my better camera damselfly hunting today - and found quite a few; (and some ladybirds) - although some better pics were actually at a pond side I more regularly go past.

A 'banded demoselle' damselfly sits on a broadleaf. It's wings are clear with a black blob at the back. It's body is a darkish shimmering blue with a browny red bit where the wings attach.

A common blue damselfly sits on a leaf. It's a cyan colour with black bands.

I think an Emerald Damselfly sitting on a leaf; it's dark and light green with big black eyes looking at the camera and hairy legs.

A red lady bird on some type of grass stem in a field. I count about 5 or so black spots on it.
