Wow that’s a cool color.

I think this little guy is a stink bug nymph.

Randos from my camera roll. The praying mantis was actually praying at a Buddhist Temple

Cool beetle and his spider friend

[Oaktavia]

@SKT I think those are called June Beetles or a Cockchafer (yep) which are types of scarab beetles. As for the spider maybe a crab spider?

Thought this was a cool shot…blue dasher on the tip of my truck antenna

[Oaktavia]

@SKT awesome shot and such an incredible creature

I'm sure these are quite common, but I've never noticed a 'reverse ladybird' like this before.

Made me smile.

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 I have not seen one before- thanks for posting it.

[T4920]

@Oaktavia it's called a Harlequin ladybird. Apparently they're invasive to the UK, and more toxic than the typical variety.

@T4920 I assume it was inspecting whether your wabash was a reverse twill fabric!

[Oaktavia]

@motojobobo haha

World Wide Web tells me this is a click beatle

@SKT The true headbangers of the insect world.

[SKT]

@goosehd ha! Didn’t even realize I spelled it that way.

[SKT]

We didn’t get the huge cicada hatch I had read about, but I’ve spotted a few recently

[popvulture]

@SKT I hear them all the time, don’t think I’ve actually seen one this year though.
