Ok, I'm very surprised

Last year, wasps built this nest

This year, other species of wasps built a nest on that nest

?!?!?!

Here's some full body pics with his face and tarsi on. Gonna need to continue drying for a couple days until totally hard. I can't put the joint compound on clay that still has give because it will just crackle and fall off. Almost there though so may just be like one day

It’s the season for the rare El Segundo Blue Butterflies to emerge! Found only on a tiny strip of coastline between Santa Monica and Torrance, these butterflies can be seen every June on their host plant, Seacliff Wild Buckwheat.

chikkin nugget

I placed the entire rant below the cut for your sakes.

White-cheeked carpenter bee found outside of a library. Trying to look gansta amongst some pretty white flowers and looking like a marketable plushie. I mean his face is a sad bird with a droopy beak and eyes. He can't even hurt me because guy bees can't sting. What is he trying to do? Ram into a giant who is more than a thousand times bigger than he is??? He'll do as much damage as a marshmallow. And not the usual kind, the extra-sugary, dirt-cheap kind that melts instantly and doesn't even bother to squish like most marshmallows. How can those tiny wings lift all that rotundness? He hovers around with the grace of an elephant doing ballet. Bro keeps doing little spinnys and loops and in his head, he's piloting one of those jet planes going at a bajillion miles per hour. I'm surprised that such a phat ass can be carried at all and maybe that is the true miracle.

I was thrilled to see a bee-mimicking robber fly alive for the first time recently! This guy was a big ol grizzly bear of a fly, fierce and bulky and about the size of a carpenter bee.

Cool bug I saw today!!

Gorgeous. They’re so pretty.

iNat thinks they’re a Northern Flatid Planthopper (Flatormenis proxima).

I usually don't make game posts but I can't stop thinking about the Bazaar Owner in White Knuckle...

Am I so obessed with bugs that any hot or remotely interesting insectiod man like this guy and trobbio could just sweep me off my feet?!?

I'm so smitten I literally played an entire roach mode playthrough just so I could have a way to remember him no matter where I am in the super structure... I knew I was a hopeless romantic but THIS..?

[fella-lovin-fella]

i hate it when people mistake "etymology" with "entomology." like, i know where they coming from but it still bugs me

[trobbioshusband]

Random ass orange beetle that's remained unidentified despite it's unique features.
