This bastard crawled under my bedroom door last night. It's chilling in the bottom of a pint glass for size reference. It's clearly a male, but as with most spiders species identification is difficult. Based on location it's either Eratigena duellica, Eratigena agrestis, or Tegenaria domestica. Based on size I'm guessing Eratigena duellica.

Pacific Northwest. It's the only place outside of Europe where all three species were introduced.

Chaosfeather posted:Lastly, I think this is a form of nightshade? Just a wild guess, I'll ID it when I get home. Still out and about and I fly back to the warm tomorrow. A very good trip. This is a rose hip, i.e. the fruit of a wild rose.

Yeah, that's a Cinnabar Moth. I'm guessing you live either in the Pacific Northwest or Europe.

Cardiovorax posted:Functionally the same, anyway. They're very distinct-looking and often have a metallic sheen, which is where the name comes from. Chrysalis comes from the Greek word for 'gold', chrysos. A chrysalis is just a butterfly pupa. Only a few butterfly species have a gold or metallic chrysalis.

Funnily enough, green is the recessive colour allele. It's just highly selected for in the wild. In the absence of natural selection most katydids would be pink, yellow, or orange.

In the bottom right is a green heron, top left is a blue heron. You still need the yellow heron, black heron, red heron, and pink heron to form the heron megazord.

I just spotted what was probably an Auplopus wasp carrying a legless spider up a tree in my backyard. It was moving pretty fast, so I couldn't get a pic or proper ID and am guessing Auplopus based on the legless spider.

Found a cicada shell on a tree in my backyard.  For those of you with periodical cicadas this won't be interesting at all, but we don't get them here.

No. You can't see the parasites until they burst out through the skin.
