Lepidoptera? On silverleaf nightshade.

I'll upload more tomorrow. Happy CNC, everyone!

My first lousy observation.

Bee hive in a willow. Never seen one with exposed combs before.

Three inches long.

"He's right behind me, isn't he?"

Ant mimick! :D

Another mimicker!

An adorable jumper makes my 1,000th observation :D

Leucistic RTHA that has been in this area for a bit.

I stopped counting nutria after 20! Most were fairly small.

Meet Stella, distractor of studiers.

The Yorkie of moths.

Batman Beetle!

Silk moth?

These guys never land!

Shoulders are red,
Their eyes are, too.
Chinaberry?
It’s what they chew.

I’m so sorry.

I wasn’t gonna image this guy stalking the other bugs on my sheet. Then he squared off with a moth until the wind blew them apart. He caught a more manageable snack afterwards.

What this picture does not show was the moth singing Mulan’s “When will my reflection show who I am inside?”

Two-spotted? More like dew-spotted. Hahahahahaha

Guy chilling in the zinnias.

Found it stinger up on the ground. I also found a cicada to mock it.

Sweet guy, just wandering across a busy park field.

So beautiful. Wish I’d gotten a clear picture of that iridescent blue.

Found our first lovely lady with @kaleallerion99!

Is that a moth on a rose staring into the abyss? Indeed.

I love cooperative boingers.

What a legendary lad. If only his eyes were truly shaped like Texas.
