Here are my invert friends:
First 3 beetles and a caterpillar (meloe sp. oil beetle, chlaenius sp. metallic ground beetle, sphaeroderus sp. snail-eating beetle, and what I suspect is a Noctua pronuba aka large yellow underwing)

Some pleasing macro-carabids:
Sphaeroderus indianae, Harpalus faunus, Pterostichus relictus, Oxycrepis circula
#Carabidae

Came across this Sphaeroderus schaumii which is a type of snail eating beetle rare to my region. I gave a boop and let him go.
