Entomologists of Tumblr! Would someone be willing to help me identify a moth we found in our office this morning? They were pretty big for an inside moth and ultimately very chill. I got a pretty good photo of them.

This activity is a serious business.

The stigma around bugs is so strange...

We write enjoying thanksgiving dinner in my house and a beetle appeared in our living room. My mother threatened to kill it unless I put it outside. I gently got the beetle into my hand , it didn't fly away , and put it outside. It's strange how she acts towards them.

Saw this tree from a distance and could just tell it was crawling with ladybugs. Flying, landing and crawling about this individual tree in the middle of the park.

For all of you wondering what happened to the mantid I caught last week, here it is released back into my yard.

Now that you've seen my lab assistant at work, observing mantids, here's a photo of my field assistant checking in on a recent find from this morning's outing. 

This is now the second mantid I've found in the exact same location in the park. Wondering why almost full grown mantids are hanging around the same area, it may be mating season.
