I love our dubias and miss our Madagascar hissers.

Found this lil dude this morning! I love cicadas. I grew up always loving them, my pappaw would tell stories of how I had this little purse that I carried around full of cicada skins to show everyone. - I was a farm kid raised by my mammaw and pappaw, and always went with pappaw everywhere. The kids collected skins and we have a jar of them on display, as well as dead bodies we've found.

I need to get out and look for dead specimens. I used to have a jar of shells and dead nymphs and adults but I don't know what ever happened to it... I love cicadas so much!

Did it actually have the pinkish tint to it on the white lines? That is such a beautiful moth :eek:

Thread-legged assassin bug! (probably Emesaya brevipennis)

Saw this guy 2 days in a row. Probably the same one since it was found in the same location both times. I don't see many of these so it's always a treat for me. First time I ever saw one was last summer or the summer before :)
 
I don't keep bugs, I did have some isopods and millipedes once. I am an aspiring botanist so bug interest comes naturally and I do like uploading observations of them too! Do you observe them in habitat too, iNaturalist is a great app for it and I'm on there too!
 
Had a black swallowtail caterpillar named Frederick.....online it said max of 2 weeks it will take for it to emerge into a butterfly.....Waited almost 2 and a half months....Was meaning to throw it out because I thought he didn't make it...Turns out, he emerged😶 I'm amazed.
But I think Frederick is actually a Fredericka.
