This cutie landed on my windowsill earlier!
Silk Mothpocalypse
I've got so many more moths today and even eggs now as well. Its a good thing I thought ahead and bought some food for when the eggs hatch. Look at all the flappy friends
Found this cutie in my peony bushes
First time I’d ever seen this species up close, he’s so striking!
Species name is Philaeus chrysops, this is a male, recognisable for its bright red colour.
Cute little springtail I found in one of my moss samples. He also deleted itself from existence, leaving the boundaries of time and space, I wasn't aware they could do that.
Was walking outside the corridor (near the stairs) and saw this big one, ngl, it feels heavy, my first time holding a big one, I was a bit worried I might hurt it, it loves my clothes, when I want to hold it on my hands, it ran away and flew (Hong Kong) It was on my face too XDD
New encounter found, some are new, and they are cute, others are basically the common ones, but I still wanna share :p (Hong Kong, Garden) Snail, Slugs, Fly, Planthoppers
Red Velvet Mite or ‘rain bugs’
Max zoom cannon 100 mm plus 1.5 mag. There’s also another even smaller bug in the clover flower!
Moths Emerge!
A couple weeks ago I was lamenting my silkworm feeders turning into cocoon and having to buy a set up for them to become moths. Today those moths have started coming out! Huzzah for moth friends
Grooming routine of my little girl 🪲
It's a female Centonia aurata (golden rose chafer)
I love these little emeralds so much.
this poor chonk had flown down the chimney and was covered in soot
we rescued him by giving him a bit of a bath and he was all good to go!
Possibly the cutest larvae I’ve ever seen!
That baby face!!
I just can’t…
Is this a Pokémon?
