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

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

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

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

My son spotted this guy and his former house

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

Randos on the house this morning

Awesome posts, friends! Check out this intimidating, yet kind big bug dude I saw this evening. He looks like a hawk wasp or something? More formidable when in flight.

Was chill enough to let me take a few quick pics.

Edit: from closer inspection, it appears to be a fly of some kind. The eyes gave it away.

@SKT the first one is an assassin bug. The second is actually a damselfly which looks much like a dragonfly minus the wing orientation and body size. Both of which are cool as hell.

@Oaktavia Very cool. Thanks for the info and now I know I like damselflies! Love their color
