This is a big Caligo (probably illioneus, but I'm not 100%) butterfly I caught in Costa Rica last March. It was one of the highlights of my trip! (It was released after some photos were taken.)

Neat bugs! The larval form, called a hellgrammite, and female and male dobsonflies. The larvae live underwater in rivers and streams. The adults are primarily nocturnal fliers and often show up to my black light set-up during the late spring and...

I stopped by some of my favorite amphibian haunts today, hoping to hear early peepers (temps were in the low 70s today!!). No luck finding adult frogs, but I netted some greenfrog tadpoles. I released them after getting some pics. It won't be long ...

It's a bittersweet night, road-cruising migrating amphibians. Unfortunately, LOTS of casualties. But those that I have been able to help across the road have all been big, beautiful, females. Pics when I get home. So far, spotted salamanders, ...

This hopper allowed me to stroke him repeatedly - after which I couldn't exile him from my deck plants, let alone toy with the idea of munching those for their high protein source any more. but hey, I'm a snowflaky vegetarian anyway!

A lucky screen grab I caught from '14. One of my favorite images ever. That spider was on one of my milkweeds in a year I was rearing monarchs. I've video of this little wasp dragging it along the windowsill. :D

I like when the Geckos get on my laundry room window. The combination of their white undersides and the fogged up windows makes for a weird visual.

My home is a mess because spiders are a protected life form. They are land crabs that protect me from the scourge that mosquitos are. Spin those webs arachnids.

I'm so glad that I found this group! I have had a love for critters since I was little. Where I grew up in Pa I was always catching snakes and salamanders. Now I'm living on Oahu and having fun catching things that I didn't have the chance to back ...

You all are probably the only ones who would get why I was excited to see a red anole today. Lived in this area almost forty years and never seen one this color before. Googled it and found this post. I'm going back tomorrow to ...

My favorite visitor to my night lights, so far tonight: the giant water bug. These are our largest North American Hemipterans and can deliver a painful puncture if handled carelessly. Nevertheless, they're nothing to be afraid of and they're super ...

Some of the snakes in my life. The first pic is of Lestat my ATB. I love his mean face. He isn’t much for handling but definitely one of my favourite babies. The second pic is a baby garter snake that got into the building at work last fall. I ...

Another favorite moth showed up last night: the funerary dagger (Acronicta funeralis). Not much to look at as an adult, but it's one of our weirdest looking North American caterpillars. And they're really easy to raise as they feed on a variety of...

The first significant visitor to my lights tonight, the Rosy maple moth (Dryocampa rubicunda). This is a male, and though he's much smaller than the Luna moth, he's in the same family--Saturniidae. This little guy is pretty worn, so he's probably ...
