This time of year, there’s a zillion of these loudly and clumsily zooming around right outside my backdoor. They’re very curious about everything that moves; they’ll just like stare you down, hovering a foot in front of your face. Too cute!! They are also kinda eating the landlords mudroom… but so slowly that I’m...
Now that winter is starting up where I am, I wanna show my favorite image I took over the summer. I caught a butterfly on some leaves, and was able to get suprisingly close for this picture! You can even see the little hairs that transition from the wings to the body. I never really think of a butterfly as having any sort of...

I noticed a quite lovely funnel web yesterday morning! The maker was hiding of course, so I figured I’d lightly tap the web’s edge with a piece of straw. That absolutely did the trick, and I was impressed with this little spider’s speed with checking out the tiny disturbance! They explored the web for a couple minutes, and...
It seemed to be doing fine as far as “racing over plants and climbing from leaf to leaf” was concerned.
Saw this little one when I was out at a store, looks like goldenrod soldier beetle! Their coloration really stood out amongst the gray carts, so I was quickly drawn to them, and tried taking some close-up images!
My wife can’t handle a spider that huge right on our window so I gotta move her. It’s knocking down the web when she’s not in it sufficient?
Parrots are overrated, I rather prefer a good Mantis
Southwestern BC, Canada. We think he’s a European mantis.
I took this a little while back with a macro lens I had on my old phone. I was amazed at just how close I got, there are lots of very visible features here that I’d entirely overlook seeing a grasshopper minding themselves out in the world. I’m appreciative they stood still long enough to take the picture, as you might...
A Red Spotted Purple, aka a Whirt Admiral, showing off the underside of its wings. Marked with reddish Orange spots over a gray to deep blue to black gradient....
Perhaps Tigrosa georgicola?
A spider I happened to notice a while back while out and about. Its markings and size caught my eye, as it was very different from the spiders I typically see around here. I doubt they are rare, but it was new to me and I wanted to get a close up picture. It might not look particularly close, but it’s a phone camera with no...
Look at this beaut! She was HUGE....
It was chilling on a Paulownia tree in Southeast Pennsylvania, U.S. I post more critters on my Pixelfed if anyone’s interested.
