Garden party on Daisy World.

These were taken at a community garden plot I pass on my way to work.









And what's a picnic without flies?

Feasting on a caterpillar makes you hold down the spines.


walking by was an isopod.


These things tend to die in plain sight like on a chair.


Found this guy my noticing the droplet. Didn't know the 2 little ones were photo bombing.

I found this Moth in my garage this morning. I assumed it was just ignoring me bu when I went to take it outside, I found it was either dead or exceptionally good at playing dead!

In some moths, the males have very feathery antennae to pick up pheromones released by the female, but in the female the feathery extensions are very short, almost invisible on casual inspection, so they look butterfly-like. Very close inspection will reveal irregularities along the female's antennae, distinctly different from the antennae of a butterfly.
