Well my maiden name was Miller and since they were in our garage I thought they were just part of the family!!!
The amount of invasive aquatic snails in the streams coming out of Lake Michigan were insane! Here is a handful after about 1 minute of creeking
What a beautiful shade of green!
My thoughts exactly! Shame they are such an invasive species bc they are like little emeralds! I tried scratching at the shells to see if it was algae and it seemed to be the shell itself
I think they could be incorporated into some incredible looking jewelry pieces
Pretty moth I found at work a few days ago. I’m just realizing that I find a lot of cool moths at work. Not quite sure why.
Found a new (to me) invert while watering the gardens! Google Lens says this is a two spot tree cricket, and he certainly did jump! Such pretty pearlescent colors in person, maybe he recently molted
Dang, thats cool!
Never seen one of those before! At least not that I recall…
It hopped onto my arm and I just about jumped out of my skin
Love a threat display! My M Balfouri will usually do it when I fill up the water dish!
How dare you startle that creature with fresh water, shame on you!
Yes, this is what crayfish breeding looks like.
I would be happy but keeping crayfish in PA is already illegal so I think I am going to just let my current ones, which totally don’t exist, eat the babies. I may also separate out 2 or so of the babies if they have any special treats that are cool.
Here is my little spider friend! I have had him (or her) for around a month and a half now. Also any idea on the species? There are a couple that look very similar to me.
It looks like some sort of orb-weaver. Based on the range and appearance, I assume it’s Larinioides cornutus.
Thank s. That is what I was thinking as well but just wanted to check
I would say that too…
@logar where did you find it?
