@AdamC I think it's a Nursery Web spider but it could be a large Wolf spider...

[spleef_oner]

@AdamC yeah, like @Oaktavia said I think it’s a big wolf spider.

Its a reason to build a flamethrower

@spleef_oner I live not too far in WV have seen the largest wolf spiders I've ever seen here. Never saw them get that big on MD. There was one in the bed of our truck that was enormous a few months back but my phone was not on me. Nice photos you got for sure.

Not a great photo but cool beetle. I believe it’s
Phyllophaga crenulata. Type of scarab beetle

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot that is one cool dragonfly! And an excellent pic to boot

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot super nice pic! Thanks for sharing.
Did you get that with a phone pic? Super sharp.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Thanks guys @SKT @motojobobo! Dragonflies are all over the place here, some with crazy colouring. Will try and snap more pics - this was just a quickie I took with my iPhone 12

@Anesthetist Both of the bee photos are great.

A Limenitis Arthemis AKA Red Spotted Purple Butterfly. Spotted in my backyard this morning. I sent the photo to my tattoo artist and I will be getting this exact one tattooed on my head next month.

Woah super cool @Oaktavia - the deep purple/indigo to light blue gradient wings is beautiful

[SKT]

That will look awesome. The species is so cool

[Oaktavia]

@jerkules I agree, it truly represents nature's beauty like Holy shit.

[SKT]

I mean it kind of reminds me of electric blues peeking out of fading denim. Cool idea

[jerkules]

@SKT me too!
