        @RobeOfTheMagi wow what a beautiful photo of the hawk moth. My mom planted a butterfly bush in the front yard when I was a kid. I would often see them on it. So cool!

        edit: My mother in law brought a clipping from her butterfly bush to my house last spring and it is growing strong. I bought a second one at a plant sale the other weekend, so hopefully in a couple of years, I will see some hawk moths again.

              This Huntsman spider was living in the gap around the hinges in my car's door.

              And this is a Golden Orb Spider, which I saw last weekend. She was quite big.

                  @cityofdelusion the irony is that those big and scary spiders aren't dangerous. In fact, a Huntsman will eat the more problematic ones.

                            It's one of the few insects I know pretty well because they're so well known for fly fishing. It's also the only insect where i know the scientific name and what it means.

                                Looks like we’ve got another swarm at the office. A bit blurry but I’m not planning to get any closer when the bees are this active!

                                          @Oaktavia yes, we have office honeybees - I think 3 hives currently. I’m not involved in looking after them (it’s my boss’s project) but I can see them from my window, especially if they decide to swarm or are disturbed.
