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

@Oaktavia Someone caring about nature. Not just stumping it into the ground.

@SKT oh yes trees have a profound impact on me. I have been enjoying identifying Hickory trees this year in my neighborhood.

@Oaktavia I have been in nature since I was a little kid like 4 years old.

First pic is 9am. Second is 6pm. I’m guessing female based on size?
