    Every time I saw a cool one on a walk I didn’t have my phone so don’t worry. I almost walked into a web and me and the spider were both startled.

    found this guy on my suitcase as we were packing. Gets bigger when they uncurl. Don’t have a picture because I got the broom and swept him outside. Probably between “core” and “voyager” size lol.

    I've been taking a few pics every so often but keep forgetting to post. Luckily i remembered thank to two bugs landing on my arm at the same time today. It's hard to get a good pic while they're on your arm tho.

    This guy looked like a stink bug/tick hybrid so I was glad he jumped away after the first pic. (Gonna have a co worker check me if he's still on tho)

    This was the other guy. I put him on my phone then a bush afterwards. Looks like a type of firefly to me

    This dude was on the carts as I pushed them into Wal-Mart. Luckily he hopped back out afterwards

    This moth was just chilling on the wall a few months ago.

    The kids found this tank yesterday. He actually pulled his head in a little like a turtle. 80E47EB1-01F1-4A96-AA0E-776350BB6E9E.jpeg E4BEE8D8-CE87-42FC-A2A5-E1DC25DE36FC.jpeg

    Found an orb weaver spider on a shopping cart. Moved him to some bushes but took some pics beforehand. (Sorry for quality, my hands shake when I see spiders)

    Been seeing more weavers lately. Wonder why

    That’s a stone fly! I couldn’t tell you the species though. They have incomplete metamorphosis (they don’t have a pupa stage). They spend most of their life in streams until they reach the adult stage.

    Their larval form:

    Like many river-living insects, they are flattened to reduce drag.
