Well, it was scoop them up to save their lives, or brutally stomp them to death. I didn't want to put poison out or get some kind of trap and just hope it catches them, nor was the cat going to do anything about them.

Since I was a kid I have caught mice barehanded a number of times, and don't recall ever being bitten. Had to scrub my hands afterward due to seeing tiny mites crawling off the mice, but never bitten.

I spotted a leucistic sparrow the other day but didn't get my phone out in time which is a shame as that was a first. Nothing else all that exciting lately, but I did find some tiny bird bones while tilling the garden and I escorted a crab spider out of the kitchen the other day.

This large, buzzy creature sat on my arm for half a minute while I took pictures of it and was chill enough throughout that it didn't occur to me until trying to google it later that it might be a horsefly.

Yup, it's a horsefly. Or a "stout," if you live in the island of Newfoundland.

The huge horseflies rarely bite people, they are specialized in feeding on large animals like cattle and horses.

Spotted these guys today: After looking up what ants exist in Norway, I think they might be carpenter ants? They are significantly bigger than most ants I usually see.

We made a new friend at work. Male https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phidippus_regius Regal Jumping Spider. Not sure if they range as far as northern Indiana. He might have hitched a ride in a box as he was running around our warehouse. Super chill, one of my coworkers just coaxed him onto a hand and found him a nice shelf to relax on. Little dude was a healthy half inch long or so.

 SF bay area. Seems like a pretty okay moth, albeit not an OK moth.

that's a male luna moth. he's either resting, or exhausted and about to die. if he's been there for an entire day, probably the latter.

Saw a luna moth crawling around with tiny, tiny little wings. I assume that's some sort of defect in metamorphosis rather than them waiting to unfurl? I took pics but probably won't post since it's a little tragic.

I took pics but probably won't post since it's a little tragic. It’s either very fresh and looking for a perch to swell up on, or yeah something went wrong
