Plant MONSTER. posted:Found this little Neotibicen hanging out upside down on the sidewalk. I may have grossed out some people sitting nearby by showing curiosity towards the little critter and helping it back up and onto a tree. I expected a lot more cicada action around me, but it's been surprisingly Lacking so far. A bit disappointing since I love them buzzing and also being goofy/ angrily buzzing when my kitten brings me one as big as his head. This fellow lives behind my faucet and comes out to hop around and look grumpy when I water stuff. I think he's a Flea Jumping Spider.   This I'm not sure, it doesn't look like the native hoppers but it certainly is one. Wouldn't stop jumping at me!

I THINK this is a young zebra spider but I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with many horizontal stripes like that on jumping spiders.   A fledgling robin with it's spots still, I think it's finally not following it's parents around.  Sadly I couldn't get a shot of the cardinal family, the young ones look ridiculous shedding with their little mobile mohawks.

 Found a tiny egg on my mint and I'm having no luck identifying it. I thought it might be red spider mite but it's not the right color, they are more red orange and not yellow with orange streaks. Any ideas? Inaturalist wasn't much help.

Cardiovorax posted:Does Kroger not put that on packing material somewhere? Where I live, all stores have to do that. Maybe you could try looking. Yeeeeaaah I was a little confused by the "packed in" instead of "from" bit as well. Edit: it's from Colombia it looks like. The Red Queen posted:I knew the egg looked familiar, and I think it's because I've seen leaf footed bug eggs that look like it, which bug guide seems to agree with although they can't narrow it down (there's something like 2K in the family): Well, that's just a lovely little bug.

 Finally got my girlfriends garden slug stuff under control, but her button bush was still getting munched up like crazy. We found this guy under a leaf, but I can't really identify it. Some kind of sawfly maybe? Inaturalist wasn't much help and lord knows with bugs and their instars.

Moved into a new place Last month, so it's been a bit of sad journey. I'll miss my bird buddies, but I'm making some grackle companions to keep the squirrels off my house. Cleaning up the yard, there's many varieties of bugs like your standard woodlouse and meaty earthworm and such from all the downed and rotting wood. Cleaning up the pile of broken tile I found both many pill bugs (woodlouse) and apparently their predator the woodlouse spider  I also met what I initially thought was a moth that kept bothering me, but appears to be a tiger bee fly. It may be a parasitic predator but it does look rather rad, check out those wings
