Mega Parasect
Ghost/Grass type
Nothing is left of the host but a dry husk with the mushroom now fully bloomed. Souls are trapped in it and used to produce more deadly spores.
Took inspiration from the Basket Mushroom, it felt like the perfect match for a spooky mega evolution! 🍄

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Randomly saw a huge moth this morning, so that was fun
I think it might be Catocala piatrix, the penitent underwing moth. Their hindwings are apparently bright yellow-orange 💛🧡

Went for a walk this morning and saw a garden spider build her zigzag web decoration. It was neat, and I didn’t expect her to make it so quickly either. Took maybe 30 seconds
I didn’t record that, but here’s another one who’s recently shed. Also neat

Tiger bee fly 🐅🐝🪰
(Xenox tigrinis)
Didn’t have time to grab the big camera for this one, but I’m glad I snapped a pic before it crawled away
They lay their eggs outside of a carpenter bee’s borehole, then the eggs hatch and crawl inside to eat the bee’s offspring

Long-jawed orbweavers are my favorite type of #spider I’ve learned about since I started doing more #macro photography. They’re so strange and elegant.
Plus they have a cool eye pattern ::::
