@guitars-in-trees submitted: I give to you a very tiny guy in pdx

This is TOO small I'm gonna cry

one if my favorite gifs right now the blankest eyes ive ever seen the lights are on but no ones home. and the other thing like grooming its snout but i don't think its even aware of what its doing. i dont think either of them know anything or know that theyre alive

glimpse into my beautiful imaginary world where arthropods are really big and we domesticated them

edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.

Calomyxa metallica by Sarah Lloyd

I found this bug in my garden but I have no earthly idea what they might be, but they’re almost pearlescent which is fun (if they weren’t taking over my pepper plant 😠)

I skipped some other submissions to post this because I'm always delighted when people find them. These are aphid mummies, which are the dead husks of aphids that were parasitized by wasps. So there are wasps helping your plants out by controlling the aphid population! Thank you, wasps. I love you, wasps. RIP, aphids.
