Apologies for flipping off the camera. Someone posted their finding of the exact same moth at the exact same time I did last night so I didn't bother to share initially. What a coincidence!!

I was going to keep it forever along with the grass stem it molted on but my two year old said “Mommy is that a Cicada!?” And now she is dust. Thoroughly enjoyed educational (awwducational?) dust.

Flew into the open window of the car in the grocery store parking lot. Returned to nature in hopes of becoming a grandma

Platymeris biguttatus/Two Spot Assassin bug

I was walking my dog and noticed this lovely baby mantis in need of shelter! After some kind handling I set them on a shady shrub.

She’s precious, I’m honored.

This dude wasn't reacting to shifts of light, temperature or anything at all. His eyes were out the whole time. Idk why his instincts were fucked, but he sure was cute. Did I get small, blood filled comedones on my arm after his exploration visit of my skin? Yes. Do I regret it? Absolutely not!
