I don't think I've seen a spider like this before. I think it's some sort of running crab spider but I'm not sure on which specific one. I'm waiting for one of the spider experts on INaturalist to try and identify it. Thought they looked super cool tho. -- #bugs #insects #spiders

This is a brickwork woodlouse. I found them hiding in between some stuff growing on the side of the house. I didn't notice the yellow markings until I ripped the photos from my camera, I thought it wS a fungus or something but I think they just look like that. -- #insects #bugs #pillbugs

This is what I believe to be a furrow Orbweaver. They must've just caught a snack because they were munching on something. -- #spiders #insects #bugs

A fishing spider I found at night. -- #bugs #insects #spiders

The stretch spiders were out in mass last night here are my 2 favorite photos I was able to grab of these small friends. -- #bugs #insects #spiders

Marking this graphic just cause it's a tick biting me. Found this tick on my thigh and my first thought was to get a photo lol. Nasty little thing must've got on me while I was sitting in grass at work. -- #bugs #insects #ticks

Flipped a log and found some ant friends. I got lucky and managed to get both ants in frame at the same time. -- #ants #insects #bugs

These little guys were all over a barn. When I went searching on INaturalist it said they were a species of spider beetle. There were a ton of them and they were all very tiny. -- #insects #bugs #wildlife

A ton of spiders were out wandering last night. The third spider is the biggest I've seen so far, they were actually spider sized instead of being cute lil baby. -- #bugs #insects #spiders #wildlife

This poor bug friend got themselves stuck on the barb of a dead raspberry bush. I thought they were stuck on a spiders web but when I took a closer look it appeared they somehow speared themself. -- #bugs #insects #wildlife

This is the last small spider I have for today. This small spider was dangling from it's web they were smaller than my finger so they must be fresh to this world. I wish the best to all my spider friends so I can photograph you when you get bigger. -- #bugs #insects #spiders #wildlife

Continuing with the theme of small spiders this spider I found crawling on a metal tomato basket. I take pictures at night so my photos are generally dark but the way the lighting hit this spider made them look grey/blue which I thought was cool. --- #bugs #insects #spiders #wildlife

All of the spiders I've found outside have been smaller than a dime. This is the smallest spider I've been able to photograph so far. I don't have very large hands so you cna imagine how small they actually are. -- #spiders #insects #bugs #wildlife

Took a bunch of photos of this sac spider last night while wandering around looking for bugs. All the spiders are so tiny they must've hatched recently. -- #bugs #insects #spiders

Took a walk tonight and found this red-bellied snake in some dead grass. -- #snakes

Here's a funky friend I was playing with. Aren't they such a cutie. Woodlice have to be a top 5 bug of all time I look at them the same way I look at dogs. --- #bugs #insects

Messing around at work and I found 8 million woodlice underneath a board. Also found some ants who were probably eating a worm.

So close to spring I can't wait to walk around at night and look for moths and spiders.

Apologies for no bug posts the winter is almost gone and spring has almost taken over. It's still supposed to snow this weekend and I've noticed a couple types of bugs have started to come out of their winter hidey holes. Hopefully spring will come and I can take many photos to show you all :)

News scaring you? Take a break to look at some baby grasshoppers. They're so small and have such cute personalities. Taking pictures of them is fun as they'll look directly at you and try to hide behind leaves or the stem of the plant it's cute. ------------ #insects #bugs #BugSky #wildlife #nature

This tiny friend crawled onto my hand while I tried photographing it. Everyone I know calls them spit bugs but I don't actually know the scientific name of these Lil friends. --------- #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature #BugSky

Haven't posted in a while. Trying to limit social media so I don't go insane. Have some butterflies to make your day better. Argynnis cybele aka the great spangled fritillary.

Thirst satiated 🐞🥰 #Macro #nature #photography

Some lacewing photos for today's post. I believe this is a golden eyed lacewing. I don't really know why the genus is called stink lacewing because as far as I can tell they don't smell that bad. -- #insects #bugs #wildlife #nature #BugSky

This is a friend I found at work one day. They had a great big web so I gave them a couple bugs as a treat and got some cool photos from it. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

You know whats cooler than moth Monday? Mite Monday. A mite I found wondering around. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

This is what I believe to be a barn Orbweaver. This pointy friend had a couple moths stuck in it's web. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

I found this little blue friend on some wood. I don't know what it is to be honest. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

There's always a bigger spider. This is what I believe to be a stretch spider being eaten by a pirate spider. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

Found this spider under a rock that was also hiding and ants nest. The spider seemed to be using the ant nest as a source of infinite food. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

This game is fire BTW I've had it wishlisted for a while

Spider dump! These guys use the goldenrod as their hunting ground some of them actually turn yellow to blend in. They mostly have moths in their mouths but a couple of them are snacking on mosquitos. A mix of genus Misumenoides and Mecaphesa. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

More spiders for Saturday. This pointy friend is a starbellied Orbweaver, they have what looks like a chafer caught in it's web. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

It's spider saturday! These 2 spiders were next to each other. The first one is a tan crab spider I believe and the 2nd one is an American Nursery Spider. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

real growth

One of the cooler parts of my job is the fact that I get to crawl under people's houses and I get to chill with all the creepy crawlies. I've been in some very tight crawlspaces where the joists were up to my chest. I mainly see isopods and eastern long jawed cave spiders. -- #bugs #BugSky #insects

First post of the day! This spider I found on the bottom of a rock I don't have the ID on hand. If you look into it's eyes you can see a black circle towards the bottom middle, that's my camera. The white above it is my flash diffuser. Neat! -- #BugSky #insects #bugs #spiders #arachnids #nature

This tiny little friend is a dwarf spider. I found them under a rock holding something in it's Jaws. It was next to a much bigger spider which I intend on posting later. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

This posts theme is cute but annoying. What I mean by that is these little bug friends are adorable and look like aliens in spacesuits to me but they are all technically pests to gardens. They are the northern corn Rootworm, spotted, and striped cucumber beetles. -- #BugSky #bugs #insects #nature

I flicked this garden Orbweaver an oriental beetle and recorded it wrapping up its snack because I thought it'd be cool. -- #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature #spiders #arachnids

A baby mantis next to my phone. I was just chilling outside and found this little friend roaming around probably looking for a small snack. -- #bugs #nature #insects #mantis #wildlife

One of the cooler things I've photographed is this nonbiting Midge I found on the siding. According to a couple people on INaturalist this is Psectrotanypus discolor. One of the first identifications of this species on INaturalist and if you go to its page my photo is the 2nd one used #bugs #insects

This Eight-Spotted forster moth was chilling on the bathroom window screen. The orange arms caught my attention immediately, it kinda looks like pool floaties. I noticed some blue specs in the bottom of its wing and got a close shot of it. -- #bugs #insects #moths #wildlife #nature

Wait a second... This isn't a bug? When it rains the frogs come out in force and invade the driveway allowing me to get some cool shots. -- #frog #nature #wildlife #amphibian

A plume moth that looks light blue in the light of my flash. These guys are cool because they're shaped like a T. -- #bugs #insects #moths #wildlife #nature

This tiny tiny tiny friend is I think the smallest bug I've ever photographed. If you're wondering the scale of this photo those threads are from a black hat I was wearing. It took me 500 attempts to get the bug completely in frame with my shaky hands. -- #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

A worm with a face only it's mother can love.. or me because I'm weird and like bugs. -- #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature #worm

An ambush bug with its lunch. I caught this lil bugglin' mid snack got a cool photo of its 'mouth'. -- #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature

A Slender Spreadwing resting on a bush. The flash hit the wings just right and created this cool color gradient. I love how these photos came out. -- #bugs #insects #dragonfly #Damselfly #wildlife #nature

Last post for the day I thought should be a banger photo. Here's imo the coolest shot I've been able to get on a butterfly. This Little Wood Satyr held still enough to let me get a nice closeup of its scales. --- #bug #bugs #insects #wildlife #nature #butterfly #butterflies
