Insects

@SKT bastard was two inches long and wasn’t worried at all. I got super close with that pic
-
Idk what this is, but I didn’t like it there

@Mister_Brue don’t know, but in my experience lately, bugs ain’t scared of anything. I’ve never been able to get close enough to photograph them but they just don’t care anymore.
Side note: I’ve had an abnormal amount of flies in the house this year. It’s like the lord of the flies decided that he was trading quality for quantity though - they’ve been slow and dumb and easier to kill because they don’t seem to sense danger or value their lives. Maybe I’m just becoming a more efficient killer, but they don’t stand a chance these days. Others have reported a similar experience this year though so i can’t take the credit. This leads me to believe there has been a change in the housefly population. Just my thoughts lol

@Mister_Brue only in my house!
interesting I wonder if they’re native, never seen one round here -
-
@Mister_Brue pretty sure the chunky fella turns into a cecropia moth

This Carolina Mantis was waiting outside my door for me. And for whatever reason this Asterocampa kept flying into me every time I leaned up against a particular tree at the playground!!

@ARNC I had to check the english name and used mourning cloak because finnish name is direct translation from that. For the looks beauty suits better
-
@Mister_Brue Thanks. We have a new garden that the butterflies like a lot.
-
@Mister_Brue Well it's starting into fall. So butterflies will not be around to long. If I can get some pics I will post them.

This thread has me getting dangerously close to some gnarly wasps! I go to pull out my phone and then think better of it.
This is about as close as I could get before I got scared 🫣
This Darapsa Myron was a bit more docile
