    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!!

      Mourning Cloaks on a gate

      20240829_115423.jpg

      Got a tick bite that infected badly. In the end there was a hole in my calf one could stick a finger to and dig around. And that was what helthcare professionals did to remove dead stuff, not with the finger thought. Nasty creatures some of them insects

        @aksu upvote for the butterflies not the tick! I thought they looked familiar and discovered that mourning cloaks are the same as Camberwell beauties (the name I’m used to).

          @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

            Yellow swallowtail with a torn wing my wife and I saw flying around the buddleja this morning.

            Praying mantis I saw last Sunday in one of our hellebores.

                      @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 🫣😅

                                    Yea he knew, it was there for quite a while it seems. He even updated the Mantis on how many outs there were!

                                          My Mom and Aunt are in town, so we visited the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Lots of insects to be seen! Here are a couple highlights

                                          Not an insect but this critter came out from the water and went into the garden
