Pearl Crescent (Phyciodes tharos)
Butterflies are hard to sneak up on, so I cherish when they land nearby.

Four-toothed Mason Wasp (Monobia quadridens)
One could just hang out at a Milkweed plant and get so many different insect species.

βRobber Flyβ
Is that close enough? π
Though it doesn't look like a standard fly, the Robber Fly is actually a fly.
The sheer size of the insect can alarm people unfamiliar with it, but the loud buzzing it creates by furiously beating its wings can be more disturbing.
Flying insects like wasps, bees, beetles, and even other flies are allβ¦

ππ»ββοΈ TIL: π¦πͺ A 324-million-year-old fossil from West #Texas, collected in 1985 and shelved in a #museum drawer for decades, was recently reexamined under polarized light and identified as "Chosha praecursor", an #insect ancestor with 24 legs. Nine pairs of paddle-like limbs may have helped it swim or scuttle through shallow seas.

There were 10 species of arthropods: a bee fly species with many individuals, two of parasitic wasps (one of them superb: metallic red, blue and green, likely Succinta sp.: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/393282112 ), two bees, two beetles, one ant, a true bug and a spider.
All of them:

ππ»ββοΈ ICYMI: π¬πΈ Japanese #nature photographer Pendora (γΊγγ©γ) captures tiny globular #springtails measuring around 0.3 mm in length.
These wetland micro-arthropods display face-to-face courtship interactions and use a spring-loaded tail organ called a furcula to execute high-speed jumps that look like #teleportation.
