Found this little fellow at the doorstep of the house we rented for the week.

Found this fellow hanging off my basil this morning. I don’t think he was eating it. I think he just overnighted on it.

This firefly larva caught my eye the other day.

@SFMCfranky very cool pic!

[Oaktavia]

@nurunuru woah that is wild, I haven't seen one of those before. Do you recall how long that one was? It looks pretty long compared to a firefly (at least the ones around here), but it is hard to tell the scale of it.

@SFMCfranky that photo is so rad! Worth putting into a frame.

[nurunuru]

@Oaktavia I'd say it was maybe around an inch long. I'm big into bugs, but had no idea what the heck it was! Pretty confident it's a firefly larva after a bit of online sleuthing, though.

[Oaktavia]

@nurunuru oh yeah for sure, it looks like one. It's just interesting to me how big it is. So cool, so primal looking, and beautiful in its own right.

Found on my screen door this morning:
