Junior the cat is 17 but still very invested in playing with string every day. I hope I’m as much fun when I’m 17 in human years or whatever. #cat #caturday

So. Much. Pollen. (Cheering myself up with insect photos, and missing bug season.) #insect #bee #pollen #pollinators #originalphoto #macro #nativebees #yellow #flower #summer #pollen

I believe this grasshopper died of summit disease, which is caused by a fungus called Entomophaga grylli. Summit disease make infected insects climb to a high point where they die and spread spores. So cute, they're just like people! #currentmood #insect #grasshopper #zombie #inauguration

Yes, I am trying to cheer myself up with bug photos as usual. I like these true bugs because they look exactly like grass. #insect #bug #truebug #macro #originalphoto #grass #camouflage

Have a nice green hornworm. Granted, they eat tomatoes faster than the plants can grow, but they sure are pretty. This one is from last August. (I've had good luck moving the caterpillars to other nightshade plants, like datura.) #caterpillar #insect #garden #moth #hornworm #macro #originalphoto
