Momma pushed em out of the house early. There were a lot of them moving in the same direction. I hope they made it!

Fritillaries Enjoying a Toad

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

Busy Ant

I realize this wont be the highest quality image in this community but as a total amateur who knows nothing of insects, I got excited seeing this little ant dutifully dragging a dead centipede(?) across my garden bed as I was weeding.

Phrynus sp., momma with babies
(mander.xyz)
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.

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