Weaver of Webs
This is a spotted orb weaver. It was hanging out on the front porch, where the motion light that our dog Lucy sets off frequently attracts many bugs.
Wheel Bug
I found this creepy bug just outside our front door. A little research on the internet and I discovered it is a wheel bug….an assassin bug that preys on pest insects. Not that I ever would, but if handled this bug can deliver a nasty bite that can hurt worse than a bee sting. When the pain subsides it is often followed by numbness that can last several days. So, yeah, it’s a creepy bug.
Lonesome Dove
There were actually more doves hanging out in the field, but as soon as I brought the camera up to take the picture, they all took off. This guy was left behind.
Froggy Went A Courtin
This guy was in the garden, just hanging out. He was gorgeous, healthy and big. I’m not sure if this is a leopard or a pickerel frog. Either way he was good company while we were out picking tomatoes.
Northern Rough Greensnake
Yesterday, while out picking the last of the ripe tomatoes, we encountered this awesome fella. He looked just like one of the tomato vines.
