Insects

@SKT it was definitely different, if a little distracting. My boss installed two hives in the office garden earlier this year!

Saw this guy in the back yard this morning. Don’t remember ever seeing one before. I believe it’s a Great Spangled Fritillary.

Not my picture but here’s one we have out here in the desert. The vinegaroon. Harmless to people unless you’re allergic to the concentrated vinegar it sprays out of its butt to repel predators…

@SKT it's always exciting to get a close photo with a butterfly or moth. Nice one!

[Matt]

We also have Jerusalem Crickets…

[SKT]

@Matt I’m going to make a prediction that I am wildly allergic to Vinegaroon butt spray. Will be watchful during next trip

[SKT]

The desert makes harsh critters

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot wow that think looks alien

[SKT]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot like a prehistoric praying mantis/fruit fly. Very cool

[SKT]

Almost stepped on this little guy while walking the dog. Nature’s camo is amazing

I want to use this image as an album cover if I ever get around to it so don't steal it. METAL AF

[Matt]

Yeah! Fuck that wasp.

[Oaktavia]

Nice one @WhiskeySandwich

Green stink bug and cicada from this morning

[SKT]

My son spotted this guy and his former house

[SKT]

From today’s hike …I think dragonflies are cool as hell. And they eat mosquitos. Heroes

Randos on the house this morning
