Aphaenogaster mariae, a secretive forest canopy-dwelling ant species which is a rare sight for us earth-bound creatures. This single individual today, on an old maple, was only my third sighting of the species!
Very rough-textured red and orange ant, chilling on white bark Top view of the creature on the bark. Head and thorax are a sandpaper texture

Piglet bug, if needed 🖤

They're just tiny derpy planthoppers with a little pig snoot, what more do you need in a bug

Serendipity
headline: Paul DePodesta defends Browns' research on Deshaun Watson "This has been the most detailed and dogged potential acquisition of a player that I've ever witnessed," DePodesta said. "I mean, now in 25-plus years across two different sports, I've never been a part of anything like it. "As we got more and more information through all the steps that we took, all the diligence that we that we undertook, all the people we talked to and all the additional information we got and especially the perspectives we got from some of the different people involved or much more involved with him, ultimately got to the same place... where we were really comfortable with the person." Quoted Skeet: And it is official Paul DePodesta becomes the Rockies new president of baseball operations after being with the Browns the last 10 years Skeet below this on my timeline:" Has anyone ever fumbled as hard as Skype"

Had to work late yesterday, and at dusk I was leaving the building I was at when I noticed a familiar tiny shape on a young maple they had planted on site. Surprise sleepy nugget (resin bee) 🥹
Goodnight y'all
Black and orange stubby chonky bee, curled up on the tip of a twig, mandibles clamped onto the twig for stability. She's very round

Young grizzled mantis derped around for me this afternoon as I was about to leave after my walk. Perky grabby flail-y child 🤎

Snootflies are back 🖤
Spotted a handful of these silly creatures this afternoon near a cypress swamp. Panorpa lugubris, the mourning scorpionfly. Distant relatives of fleas. I make a small pilgrimage or 7 to this spot every year around this time in hopes of seeing them, as one does
Red and black vaguely wasp-like creature with a silly ant eater-esque snoot, with black wings. He's chilling on a skeletal dry plant of some kind against a grey sky The snooty creature on a green herbaceous plant, with a snack peek at the red abdomen under the black wings Silly snooty face of the creature, the snoot pointing straight down below her eyes Top view of a male, with his long abdomen unfurled, terminated by a black earwig-like grabby appendage (which gives them the common name scorpionflies)

Parents will sometimes express they feel somewhat lost or invisible when raising young children, and this wolf mom just might understand. She narrowly missed #Arachtober but that's on me for not finding her sooner and sharing her and her hundred+ babies with y'all 🖤
#InvertebrateParenthood
Very large grey wolf spider absolutely covered with tiny wolf babies, just her face peering out from under the living shawl Wider view of the scene, the creature is basically a horde of babies supported by long legs Top view of the lass and her brood

Pretty late to see one of these unknown red Castianeira lasses roaming about, so she was a lovely surprise. Colors faded a bit with age but she's still lovely ♥️
