An iconic southeastern scarab, Trigonopeltastes delta, not bothered by the heat.

A plump polyphemus moth just chillin’ in the middle of campus this morning.

Happy "bees and other assorted insects getting drunk on lavender season" to all who celebrate! I love watching them feed and listening to the buzz

The bee princess from @idolomantises.bsky.social I think she looks neat!

Nothing can rival the combination of geometry and color in vanadinite. Its hexagonal crystals are as red as a map of temperatures in Europe. It’s #MineralMonday, by the way. #Mineral #Minerals #FocusStacking #Macro
