Three species (that I know of) in this photo--Argynnis aphrodite, Boloria bellona, and Argynnis cybele. The toad is an American toad.

This is one of my favorite observations from this summer--a tailless whip scorpion with tiny jelly beans. She was really fiesty, with good reason! We shoo'd her out of the road, much to her displeasure, so scooters wouldn't run her over.

All of Orthoptera (grasshoppers, katydids, crickets, etc) were tolerant of my photography shenanigans during a hike the other day. These in particular (Roeseliana roeselii) were just stunning!

What is this bug? Photo taken on Mt. Lemmon, AZ. Looked it up and couldn't find much.

Spent some time looking for what specific bumblebee, digger bee, or carpenter bee this might be. Couldn't figure it out.

An old photo of mine... I don't remember how I managed to spot this.

I didn't even notice the baby on the back when I was photographing this scorpion. Absolutely adorable. Utila, Honduras.

Gene Simmons has nothing on these gals. Possibly Eucera spurcatipes?

Not sure which is longer, the name or the bug.

Not the best picture, but I spotted this little friend crawling on my pile of folded laundry in the living room. He appeared to be carrying an ant. We scooped him up with my daughter's bug catching kit (where I tried to get a picture) and let him go outside.

Not sure of the exact species, possibly Cassida japana.
