This stunning ichneumon wasp is from June 7, 2023. These wasps are parasitoid wasps (one reason why wasps are my favorite…they’re so fascinating and diverse!).

Happy Groundhog Day! This is a Seven-Spotted Ladybug, Coccinella septempunctata. I actually saw it today! It was over 60°F today and I went to the @denverbotanic gardens to see their orchids and walk around. Saw a few arthropods, inside and out!

I picked this beauty b/c I just saw some large spider hate. :( This is a Giant Crab Spider, Olios giganteus. I saw this one in the bathroom at Kodachrome Basin State Park in Utah, US, at the end of Nov 2021. I may or may not have checked in every day we were there…

Posting so I don’t have an empty profile! This is a Convergent #Ladybug, Hippodamia convergens. One of Colorado’s 89 species of ladybugs and also one of the native ladybugs. I spotted it technically yesterday (Nov 20) and noticed it had an unusually yellow face. Very cool!
