I was harvesting some seed pods from my milkweed, and this pair got me thinking. Am I just a weirdo or would a hair bow based on them be kind of cute? 👀

I found six camel crickets on the side of my house last night! They're pretty skittish so I tried not to bother them too much, but this one was pretty cool with getting his photo taken. I don't see them very often so it was a real treat. Aren't they adorable? 🐪🦗

I love these little goobers so much! I wish I saw them more. Last year we had large milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) and there were so many of them, both nymphs and imagos. Unfortunately haven't seen any of those this year. Hope it's not too late for more of the small ones to pop up at least 😔

This double crested cormorant was nonchalant as hell, man. Completely unbothered by all the gulls mobbing him for his lunch. I can only dream of being as cool as him someday.🐟

Would you believe this spindly guy is an assassin bug? I picked him up initially thinking he was a phasmid…then I got a closer look at the face and saw the rostrum, and the raptorial forelimbs started to make sense! He's a member of emesinae, a reduviid subfamily I didn't know about before!

...What do you mean it's the only member of the genus Phimosus? PHIMOSUS? PHIMOSIS? Do ornithologists even LIKE birds?

Quick update on this plant and the one next to it–there are now significantly more mummies than live aphids. Every year there will be a few mixed in among the living ones, but I've never had THIS happen before! The wasps really had a field day. Absolutely wild, man.

Haha, about that…She really got to work huh?
For those unaware all the orange aphids are just fine, but those black and brown ones are all dead--parasitized by wasps. Their larvae will eat the aphids' insides, pupate, and leave that husk behind. Pretty gnarly stuff. 🤘

August nights are one of my favorite things because there's always a whole orthopteran orchestra performing through them. It's also really fun to go out and hunt for them, especially the katydids! 🍃

Found some bird's nest fungi in the garden! These little guys are so cool. The "eggs" are peridioles which carry spores that disperse when raindrops hit the "nest" at the right angle. Another common name for them is "splash cups" for that reason. Neat, right? 🪺
