The creature

(This is a Great Golden Digger Wasp - Sphex ichneumoneus - doing what its name implies, digging. But you may also notice, if you turn the sound on, that she’s making some incredible noises as she does so.)

My joyous finger-chewing daughter... Her name is infinity (check pic number 4 for the reason why) and I got her back in July….🥹 she’s a Sonoran desert millipede (orthoporus ornatus if I’m correct) and I love her dearly. Please enjoy some of my favorite photos of her + a video of her nibbling my finger
