This guy was too busy feeding to stop for a decent photo!

Finally was able to take a photo of a monarch.

@Nocturama wow! That orange is incredibly beautiful.

[Nocturama]

Absolutely - it’s a Red Admiral, but definitely a beautiful orange @Oaktavia

[ARNC]

Some kind of caddisfly, I think.

@catdad1 red spotted purple i think

[SKT]

First one was found under a parsley leaf and not sure what it is. Second is a wheel bug I think

Edit…green one is a pale green assassin bug

Another little spider on some basil

Found this beautiful buck moth on the road while walking with my wife and son. I put it on a nearby tree. I looked them up and read that the months emerge this time of year to mate, lay eggs and die within a week.

@Oaktavia that’s a beauty and new to me. Such cool markings

[Oaktavia]

@SKT I had never heard of or seen one before either. It was a super fun little interaction and made my morning.

@Oaktavia I love when seemingly small things have an outsized effect. I’ve been the same with trees in our neighborhood changing colors this past week. Always has a positive impact on me
