Ragged Red Admiral

This red admiral is looking a little ragged. 

If you look really closely you can see the rolled up tongue.

Red Admiral

Here is another red admiral.

Look at his eyeball!

Stinky Sunday

This might be a brown marmorated stink bug, but I am not sure.

Bumpy Bug

I found this bug when I sat down on a bench. Look at how long the antenna are!

I am not sure what this bug is, but he is kind of bumpy!

Fly Friday

We saw lots of flies the other day. Mom said Uncle S would like this one because it looks like a Metallica fly or something.

Look at all the little hairs on this fly!

This one kind of looks like a zebra!

Ebony Jewel Wings

Ebony jewel wings seem to be popular wherever we go!

Snipe Fly

We went on a bug hunt with our friend Rissy earlier this week. We found ants, mosquitoes, spittle bugs, jewel wings, and a snipe fly!

Isn't it a pretty gold?

Dragons

Dragonflies and their relatives are really cool, but they usually fly around so fast! We finally saw some at the park that decided to sit and stay still for a second!

This is a blue-tipped dancer. All of the rest are ebony jewel wings. 

Hawk Moth

Mommy got some caterpillars at the store to see if we could raise them to grow into moths for food for the mantis brothers.

But when they grew up they were a lot bigger than the mantis! They were very soft and fluffy though!

Here is a picture my friend Jace sent in. it's a tick his mommy found. Yuck!
