I think it looks like an owl 🦉

It doesn’t really come across, but it looked fuzzy like a bumblebee, but was definitely a beetle.
If anyone can positively identify, that would be sick

I’ve been in a lot of greenhouses the last 20 years and these spiders are a fixture of late summer - early fall, and every time I see one I still have to stop and enjoy their awe and terror (in a safe way. they’re not dangerous at all)

INSECT UPDATE ‼️ 🚨

got this magnificent orb weaver in the hoophouse. her web juuuust inches from the sidewall crank-handles, so when you raise and lower the walls, your knuckles are mere inches from 4” of arachnid

INSECT UPDATE 🚨 ‼️

It was a bumblebee beetle mimic. I’m actually having trouble researching this one. A lot look kinda similar, and there are a surprising number of species that mimic bumblebees.

But they are pretty cute, so makes evolutionary sense 🐝

Not a lot of corporate mascots come out with the chutzpah of a gritty.

I’m a big fan of deferred romantic arcs: Love in the Time of Cholera, the Earthsea Cycle. I wouldn’t mind something like that, though they’re still both pretty young 🤷

When the colossus starts to move is so terrifying

I’m in Sheboygan, and oh man, do they love quoting that scene lol

it’s wild how often it comes up in comedy. probably all the Chicago comedians and a fun name 🤷‍♂️
