    • This is a chinese mantis bigger than my hand I found in the piney woods of Texas. I used to go there often as a kid and swim in the lake. I still visit sometimes and its as serene as I remember.

    • This is a Fishing spider about the length of a playing card I found with her brood upon lifting a metal hatch to some sort of tank. My friends and I heard about an abandoned power plant out in the middle of nowhere roughly 2 hours away from where we live and decided we wanted to grab a few joints, drive out there and explore it. It was pretty cloudy out with spotted storms so we listened to a horror audio drama (The Magnus Archives) on the way there, it was cool knowing I introduced them to it and they ended up liking it almost as much as I do. Upon arriving we realized we'd have to park my truck on an inclined dirt path (on a rainy day bc we are stupid almost got stuck) in order to keep it out of sight of the highway and walk about a mile to get to the plant. But holy shit it was so worth it, the rain made all the plants glisten and everything was so stunningly green. We also found some dope ass graffiti among other cool artifacts. I have plenty more pictures if you are interested lol.

    • Found this beatle (perhaps a scarab?) that I am not even going to try and Identify on a roadtrip my family took to california to visit my grandmother. I believe this guy was in Mesa Verde, specifically on the rock next to the ladder you take to exit the Pueblo cliff dwellings. I remember I was watching (and obsessed with) avatar the last airbender at the time and thought they were really cool because they reminded me of the western air temple 😭

    • This is a spotted tussock moth caterpillar I found in colorado. It was my first time climbing on real rock. I don't typically climb these days but I do miss it.

    • This is a female io moth found in my parents backyard that I captured for my girlfriend's sister who is an entomologist

    • These are what I think are swallowtail caterpillar munching on my dad's orange tree. I woke up to him actually shaking his fist at them
