Praying mantis

I found a Praying mantis in my backyard a couple days ago and named her Isabella

grasshoppers 🦗✨

(I know the emoji is a cricket, hush)

Common Whitetail Dragonfly

I can't believe he stayed still long enough for me to get this shot! I love how the shadows look. ✨ (edited)

Made a friend at work today

Ant time

This is the clearest pic I've got of an ant, they just constantly move around. This guy was probably about 4mm long.

“I just a baby” 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

One of the new hatchlings from the previous year’s batch of eggs

Boxing Gloves

This little guy looked liked he was wearing boxing gloves. I think this is a striped lynx spider, happy to be corrected if I’m wrong. 🖤

What in God’s name is this?!

Saw this on my car at the nature preserve today here in South Florida. It looks like it’s from the Jurassic age. Not gonna lie I got in my car on the passenger side! Lol 😂 (edited)

This is the most beautiful thing I saw today..

Got it from Pinterest. (edited)

So tiny

Ever realized how beautiful these tiny creatures really are? They're actually not flies but more like tiny moths. I dunno, I personally love them 🖤

Cute baby lantern fly

They are popping out everywhere, so cute but so bad for trees lol. Cant squish something so cute.

Little green spider

This little guy decided to take a free hitch ride on my pant leg until I brushed him off. He is very pretty and interesting he is almost the colour of neon green. Must've gotten on my pant leg in the tall grass, I am curious as to what this spider is called.

Various interesting insects

I found these interesting pictures online for the last few days and I thought they would be interesting enough to show and post.

More pictures of my favorite bug

I've been looking around and found more interesting pictures on the various species of the walking stick like of how the jumping stick may have an interesting face design, but during its nymph stage, it would resemble a rather long grasshopper.

Identification of a Lepidoptera

Hello!! A few months ago I found a small green caterpillar on a basil plant 🐛. After adopting it and feeding it for several weeks, it ended up making its cocoon and emerging as this beautiful imago with silver spots 🦋. For now, I conclude that it must be a noctuid. Does anyone know what species… (edited) read more

Insect eggs

I've been doing a little bit of research here and there based on various walking sticks, and happy to find it out all the different types of eggs that they would end up laying like, how most insects tend to do.

Insects

I used to be one of those "I love all animals except insects" type of people, until I started doing an animal care course in my college, anyone else had a similar moment?

Favorite insect

Please leave on like and comment your favorite bug that you like even if everyone else doesn't like it. My top favorite is Walking stick and my back up choice is the cicada.

Just making up as I go at this point

Gorgeous ladybug sighted

Made me feel way too excited (mind out of the gutter, please) to see this critter earlier today so I'll share it here too.

Stick and Leaf insects

One of my favorite insects, next to the Cicadas and it's fascinating of how many there are.

A Willow Beauty moth

What a great name

Scorpion

A friend found it once when we went for a walk in the hill... In the Puebla Mixteca, we photographed it and let it return to nature.
