Saw a little green weevil (?) walkin' around the table I was eating my lunch at outside. He wouldn't stay still for a good picture.   Edit: got a bit better one:  I love their stupid gait with their goofy clown-shoe bug feet. DrBouvenstein fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Jun 21, 2023 |

It's a Pale Green Weevil (Polydrusus impressifrons). Native to Europe and first recorded in North America in 1906.

BOOTY-ADE posted:Not just tiny lizards but other even tinier animals - meet Paedophryne amauensis Yeah, any vertebrates that small are ridiculous. I guess I can accept fish because their body plan is somewhat simpler, but land creatures shouldn't be that small! Here are some of my tiny friends from my trip to the Big Island in 2015.    Nothing for scale on that last one, but it was no bigger than the first one.

Technically not a critter, but something beautiful made by a critter: An abandoned paper wasp nest - I liked the coloured layers, like an ochre painting

I have preserved a couple bald-faced hornet’s nests for this very reason: They’re art.

I have no clue what the gently caress I’m going to do with it aside from having it. But it’s awesome. The wasps that made it were also pretty cool about me going outside and smoking right next to them. I also found out that paper wasps like air conditioning, that summer, since I would try to have only the screen closed when I was working on smelly stuff at night, and a lot of the wasps would head over to the screen to sleep, which is likely how the few that I had to catch to throw back outside got in. Attaching images is not currently working correctly.

this guy was on the wall. he is like 2mm in size. truly just a lil guy this is 10x magnification. I literally could not get a bigger picture of him with my phone, the area of this photo is roughly the size of an M&M.  also taking these pictures makes me realize just how much invisible lint is on the wall, only visible when a camera flash gives them the tiniest semblance of a shadow

Damnit. iApp is still using url tags instead of letting me attach images. Let’s see if imgbb works.  Looks like it has already gone fishing again.

I met this strange fly on the weekend. From a distance I thought the wings were fancy antennae. It was doing a little wing dance.  I also caught this robber fly trying to break into my garage.

My house this year is just swarming with spiders, none of which I am capable of photographing clearly. I have false widows, what looks to be some kind of long-legged cellar spiders, and I have seen several very fast, low-slung shiny black models zooming around when they think I am not looking. After seeing some earlier posts in this thread I was worried about being inundated with ticks but we haven't seen any. Overall I much prefer this kind of arachnid invasion.

This guy was fluttering around in the dark last night, and I thought it was a small bat at first before he landed on the screen. I put my hand in for scale, but then forgot how perspective works, so allow me to just say, he was about the size of my hand. Luna moth

I had a southern boobook pounce on to the road in front of my car last night, braked to avoid and had time to register “oh god what is wrong with that pigeon, oh wow it’s an owl OH WOW it has like raccoon eyes” before I drove past. I hope he caught his little meal! And I wish I’d had dashcam or something to get a pic. I’ve only ever seen barn owls and tawny frogmouths here, extremely rarely so this was the first boobook I’ve ever seen.

Turns out I've been living 10 minutes away from an amazing private wetland preserve for like two years and I had no idea it was even there   I really had to torture this one in photoshop because I'm new and bad and I haven't learned proper post processing yet but look at the size of this lad

 I was about to have a shower when I noticed a Boone and Crockett sized house centipede in my bathtub. Those are loving toenail clippers.

Are mutations in frogs a thing? I'm wondering as my cat brought a frog into the house the other day and while I was returning it to the creek behind my house I noticed it had a small pink arm growing out its side.
