#stilt bug

[onenicebugperday]

hello! enjoy a wide smattering of bugs

big and small i love them all

also snails are bugs because I say so

also also if you want to id them for fun for yourself you can they're basically all from ny but I typically use inaturalist rather than. waiting specifically for your inbox to open lol

also also also sorry if this is too many they just bring me joy

I also love them all! I won't list all the IDs since there are so many, but I will say that the spitting spider and habrosyne moth are my favorite :))

Bug of the Day

I love this shot of a stilt bug (Berytidae sp.) doing its thing on a purple-flowering raspberry (Rubus odoratus). This is probably Jalysus wickhami, since they prefer to hang out on plants covered with glandular trichomes (gland-tipped hairs), but I am not sure I can id it to species.

Hope y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate!
