ants will sometimes farm aphids because the aphids poop pure sugar which the ants like to eat so they guard the aphids and keep them... clean. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

Day 11!
This is a jumping spider, one of my favorites. I think this is a bold jumping spider but I'm not sure.

This is an asian lady beetle, harmonia azyridis. Note the white m shape in the middle where the black meets the red, oregon native lady bugs don't have that.

Another daily bug, day 12
I'm not sure, should I keep track of the days? This is turning into a habit 🫣 Meet the rough stink bug, once again I don't know the scientific name off hand and don't feel like googling it atm, but I believe this little guy is a native to the Pacific North West and is predatory. (edited)
