Found while on a hike at Cherokee Bluffs Park in Flower Branch, GA. There were a few other similar ants seen in the same area.

Found on my friends screened patio.

This stunning moth was found near the playground at Shades Mountain Baptist Church. It was laying flat against a brick wall, not being sneaky in the slightest.

This bundle of newborns was located on my roof in Vestavia Hills. The mother was close by and not happy with my presence.

A small Magnolia Green Jumper. Seen outside of their habitat and rummaging around the trash. Rather passive reaction to me.

One of the largest I've seen!

Sleeping. Telephone pole that it had earlier pecked out a nice hole, not large enough to go into, but enough to hide the head and sleep. We also saw it here 3 days earlier.
