A glasswing butterfly alights on a heliopsis, Mindo rainforest, Ecuador, Dec 2021.

Some of our fun finds volunteering yesterday. I swear nature hikes are keeping me sane right now. So thankful the insects are back in full force. #texasmasternaturalist #arthropods #beetles #insects #bugs #iNaturalist #iNat #setx

The change of the season was marked this morning by the arrival of the first Angled Satin Moth (Thalaina angulosa) of the year. We see these stunning moths in the Perth Hills between April and June. #teammoth #ausinverts #wildoz #Lepidoptera #inaturalist

I love jumping spiders. Super cute, and surprisingly complex behaviour. I'm not sure, but I think this is Eris militaris, the bronze jumping spider. #Spider #Macro #iNaturalist #JumpingSpider #Eris

A photo of a small grey jumping spider, hanging upside-down on the stem of a plant, with a green leaf in the background. The spider is clinging tightly to the stem with its legs and seemingly its palps, and is looking up with large, dark eyes.

This almost never happens! A blue-eyed darner dragonfly perched in view! I had to lean #Sideways to get this pic, but wow. My favorite dragonfly close up! #BlueSkyArtShow #Dragonfly #Insect #Invertebrates #PNW #Nature #Photography #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #NatureTherapy #iNaturalist

Closeup of a large dragonfly with bright blue eyes, sky blue mouth parts, a caramel brown thorax with pale blue stripes, and a a bright blue and dark brown mosaic pattern going down its abdomen. Translucent wings are outstretched against the dusty green foliage of the apple tree the dragonfly is perched in. This was especially exciting because darner dragonflies (this is a blue-eyed darner according to iNaturalist) seldom perch during the day. They are always flying, catching prey and eating mid-air. We’d been watching this one, and it went behind this apple tree, so we followed it, and whammo! There it was. Perched. It stayed there for almost an hour. It’s my favorite dragonfly, so that was really a gift.

An alien-like Western Tiger Beetle larva (Cicindela oregona) waiting at the entrance of its burrow for prey. One of my favourite photos I have taken! #iNaturalist #Coleoptera #TigerBeetle #macrophotography
