  1. Eight eyes, zero chill. Spotted this fuzzy jumping spider (Salticidae) in Biebrza National Park, Poland, striking the perfect pose on a curled leaf. Nature's tiniest, most curious hunter.

  2. I had a fascinating visitor today in my garden in the evening. She was laying eggs in the ground.

    I also made a video but I have to compress and cut it to be able to share it, so I will share it later.

  3. #Today there are now 2 praying mantises in my garden! 😍 I took these photos yesterday. Neither are fully mature. The bigger one is in my standing planter & hangs out at the base of a jalapeno plant. The other is still on my plumeria & has now grown enough to be green instead of the goldish hue it had as a baby bug.

  4. Monarch in my garden #today

    My husband took these, so I'll give him credit.

  5. Cotton Harlequin Bug on an Illawarra Flame Tree seed pod. This one is a female, the males are blue. For some reason they seem to really like these pods and are often visible on them.

  6. A #ThrowbackThursday to that time in 2008 when my salad came with a free friend. (I fed him greens for a while and then released him outside when the weather was nice.)

  7. We don't have these beetles in Western Australia. This is a Victorian beetle, can't you tell? #bugstodon #bugsofmastodon #Beetles #Victoria

  8. Bug fedipeople,

    Edit: pretty sure it's a conifer seed beetle. No need for id I guess unless you know different.
    Please can someone help id this bug for me?

    INaturalist says it's a Leptoglossus and that several species are of economic importance, and one species, L. chilensis, has been reported to bite humans.
    I hope your Sunday is a peaceful one.
