I’m in awe at the sight of this Regal Moth or Royal Walnut Moth (Citheronia regalis) a once in a generation sighting & I got to see her bring in the next generation 🦋❤️#lepidoptera #moth #regalmoth

Nature never stops being amazing with so many odd & beautiful creatures, that I assumed at first glance it was an odd wasp maybe a bit of Batesian mimicry but instead this is even more special a “Delta Flower Scarab”🪲 (Trigonopeltastes delta)🌸🌹

It’s been quite a hectic couple of weeks but today it was all worth it finding a “Great Purple Hairstreak (Atlides halesus)🦋😍 after 8 long years it’s was my glittering gem amongst the grass💎

Probably the biggest grasshopper I’ve ever encountered so far and it definitely doesn’t disappoint, it’s the Eastern Lubber Grasshopper (Romalea microptera)🦗

If you’re having a hard day today may I offer you some 🐸 in these trying times “American Green Tree Frog (Hyla cinerea)” I love taking pictures of these little guys📸😍

These are probably some of my favorite shots of a Common Buckeye(Junonia coenia) I can see why most predators would back away from those striking patterns,except me apparently 😆

While observing the “Lesser Peachtree Borer Moth(Synanthedon pictipes)” I find them so interesting both in their disguise as a wasp & their striking blue hue🦋😍📸

Another gorgeous morning figured thought I’d post a bit more here’s some shots of a Little Brown Skink( Scincella lateralis)🦎🥰who thought by holding completely still I wouldn’t notice his silhouette.
