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 ::::
