In University I kinda sorta unofficially minored in entomology, but only because I took nearly every undergrad bug course they offered. I missed my calling but still love photographing and painting insects.

She lost.

The Park | ↻ 2¼ years

pixelazy This little bumble was probably nearing the end of something because she was pretty docile on the park sidewalk. I did need to move pretty fast to keep up with her, but I memorialized her efforts in a pretty nice #insect #macro and then left her to her day.

pixelazy I was trying to figure out what this little spider was because I either haven’t seen one of these in my backyard or I haven’t been looking close enough. Either way, the #botanicgarden once again proves the place for some #insect #macro #spider pics.

Wednesday the 17th of July, 2024, around lunch-ish.
