Little friend in my laundry room. They disappeared this morning--probably through the crack in the window, back into the garden (I hope...).

Holy moly check out the antennae on that beetle from New Zealand (the batocera wallacei). If I had antennae like that I'd knock everything over all of the time.

I might be completely off-base here, but it looks similar to the wolf spider Tigrosa Georgicola: http://bugguide.net/node/view/359433

I will treasure this picture thank you

Awesome fucking spider in my garage. Just for you Quinton.

In the book I'm reading right now (Biology of Spiders by Rainer Foelix), the author mentions Dolomedes spiders and how they can gallop over the surface of water. Here's a video clip of a galloping spider! How cool!!

This infographic, just like our latest video, reveals how little land insects require for farming. Efficient! Yum!  If you haven’t checked out our latest video on eating bugs (aka. entomophagy), please do, and learn about the surprising benefits of insect cuisine! http://youtu.be/iM8s1ch5TRw [Little Herbs]

"Sup bro?"  Just a little human to tarantula fist bumping, to prove the existence of interspecies bromance.

This is some kind of vertebrate?

I've always called these animals 'stink bugs', but according to what I've read on bugguide.net this is actually some type of 'leaf-footed bug'; I think it might be a western conifer seed bug (leptoglossus occidentalis)? Anyway, they're all over my grandparents' house this time of year. They're so neat looking!

Here is a spider that I found in my grandparents' house. Unfortunately, this is the only picture of it that didn't turn out completely blurry! It's some kind of gnaphosid spider, maybe? It looks a little like a parson spider, but I didn't think they lived in this area? I wish I had a better picture.

I went on a trip last weekend to my grandparents' house! It's on the other side of the state, in the countryside. While walking through the woods I saw TONS of sheet webs belonging to what I think are probably grass spiders of some kind(s) (agelenopsis spp.)? 

This web had a good-sized spider peeping out of its funnel, ready to hide at a moment's notice! Well, I tried to take a picture but my hands, you know, are shaky, so I took a video.

Spiders with water droplet hats are something I really needed to know about.

I found a video of this moth on youtube and it really DOES look like a hummingbird from a distance, doesn't it??:

I wish these were on my continent instead of hummingbirds. I am tired of the hummingbird in my yard bullying me, it is my honeysuckle, I planted it I will not let you intimidate me!!
