Think this the first wasp nest I've ever seen that wasn't on a man-made structure... They were super chill.

This little guy pushed my camera to its max but I thought it was too neat not to share.

I realize its been awhile since I've posted a squirrel pic. So here's a sweetie from Thomas Strouhal Park longing while she snackes on a walnut.

A baby leopard frog peaks out from some water lettuce. Taken in my pond earlier this year.

Got a little family of Large Milkweed Bugs, Oncopeltus fasciatus, on a vine on my fence.

Found an eastern grey tree frog sitting on my tomatoe plant's pot. Looks like he has a little burrow in it.

The unofficial Oklahoma state insect, the Cicada. I think this might be a Plains Cicada, Megatibicen dealbatus. Found in my front yard.

Some ducks at the okc zoo. I feel the large one was wondering why the other was invading his space.

Found some critters in my own backyard. I believe the grasshopper looking guy is actually a katydid.

Sometimes you feel the world is falling into darkness. Then you see a baby naked mole rat cleaning his toes.

Taken at the Oklahoma City Zoo.

Another Thomas Strouhal Park pic. Found a plant covered in hundreds of aphids. Also, a yellow lady bug, probably enjoying all the aphids.

A colorful and tiny bug I found at Tom Strouhal Little River Park in Oklahoma. Didn't realize there was a catapilar nearby until I was editing the pictures.

I was trying to get some pictures of what looked like a small tarantula hawk attacking a Grass Spider when the spider ran up my leg and the chase continued.

Another shot from Ruby Rose Park in Oklahoma. An unfortunate bee caught by a spider. I also had some fun with the spot color feature.

Went to the park and fed some squirrels. They were so cute I thought Id start a blog about them.
