The orchard spider (Leucauge venusta) shows beautifully irridescent silver, yellow, and black on its abdomen, and its green legs are distinctive. They like to spin their webs in low shrubs or small trees, usually close to the ground. #backyardnature #arachnology

Here's the red-banded leafhopper (Graphocephala coccinea), aka candystriped leafhopper. They prefer to feed on sap from blackberry and raspberry leaves, but will feed on roses, rhododendrons, and other ornamental plants as well. #backyardnature #entomology

This is a #backyardnature #mycology help request...can anyone identify this #fungus? They're appearing in my front and back yards, but only in locations where trees (redbud and Bradford pear) have been removed; this one is roughly 8" in diameter, with a 1.5" woody stem.
Basically - what is this, is it toxic to animals, and is there a suitable pet-safe fungicide?

Walking through my neighborhood, I almost went right past the young eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) circled in the first picture; at that size, it's likely that they've only recently left the nest and become independent. #backyardnature

Here's an odd one - it's a typical Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis), but take a close look at its posterior...see those green filaments? Those are parasitic fungi, Hesperomyces harmoniae, a member of the "beetle hanger" class Laboulbeniomycetes. It is transmitted by prolonged physical contact - so, yes, it's basically the STD of Asian lady beetles. #entomology #backyardnature #mycology

I've been trying to capture one of these tiny #backyardnature visitors for a long time. It's a planthopper nymph, probably Acanalonia conica. The "fluffy butt" in the first picture is extruded wax that helps the nymph avoid predators and diffuse the sugar water it constantly expels. #entomology

More #backyardnature - here's the Baltimore snout moth (Hypena baltimoralis), the second Hypena species I've identified. They're native to the eastern USA, where their larvae feed on maple leaves. #entomology

Here's something a little different - the two-spotted tree cricket (Neoxabea bipunctata). The two "spots" on the forewings identify females; the males are spotless. They're native to North America; this one probably visited our front door from the deciduous woods nearby. #backyardwildlife #backyardnature #entomology

This tiny #backyardnature visitor is the peach tree weevil (Pseudoedophrys hilleri). They feed on the foliage of rosaceous plants (e.g. apples, pears, plums, peaches, roses, rowans, etc.) Native to Japan, it is an adventive species in the eastern US. #entomology #backyardwildlife #weevilwednesday
