The nice brown marmorated stink bug is still alive after a week and still crawling around the same place. We called it Wörner. 🤣

A moth. This one seems to be extremely nervous about whatever. 🤣 I don’t know what it's doing but I guess the moth doesn't know too. 😝

Native to #PacificNorthwest area.
Dragonflies are one of nature's insect indicators. They're only seen in healthy ecosystems.

Spent some time hanging out with some blue #damselflies at the lake before coming back home 😊
Damselflies have existed since the Late #Jurassic period & found on every continent except Antarctica. Presence of damselflies & the larger dragonflies, indicates a healthy #ecosystem.

In the skimmers family of dragonflies - the largest #dragonfly family in the world.
They're similar to the 12 spotted #skimmer - which has additional black spots on both wing tips.#nature #wildlife #Wsanec #Saanich #WetlandsConservation #insects #anthropoda #anisoptera #entomology #VictoriaBC #yyj #vanisle #VancouverIsland #PNW #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #FlyingInsects #YYJGreenbelt #WingedBeauty #NatureLovers

CW: Insects
TIL that earwigs can fly. Though they mostly don't bother flying, it's a little embarrassing as someone with two biology degrees not to have known this 😳
(HT @aegilops)
They have shimmering, foldable wings that they hide away under their stiff forewings, like beetles do. Their wing deployment reminds me of an unfurling solar sail.
