Bug tetris. I finally made info cards for most of these. The writing is on the underside of each for my privacy. I'm lucky I take pictures of my specimens when and where I find them

Btw if you think pretty privelage isnt real look at lepidoptera. Butterflies are commonly the most recognized as a subcategory in order lepidoptera, despite the fact that the VAST majority of lepidoptera in both numbers and diversity is actually moths. Not to mention all the "pretty" moths will almost always be mistaken as butterflies by people who dont know the species. I cannot BEGIN to tell you how many "butterfly" themed things (especially posters) ive seen with a luna moth on them.

[video description: a yellow jacket wasp cutting out a chunk from a thin slice of meat. Once the piece is severed, she instantly flies off with it]

Had a picnic with some friends and a trio of vespula germanica invited themselves. They were interested in several things we had but their clear favorite was the prosciutto, possibly in part because it was easy for them to cut up and take off with.
