muffet molted and I had no idea! I can’t wait for her to come out of her hidey hole so I can see how big she is now! I can already see how much darker she is. and! I believe that was her last juvenile molt and she’s a full adult tarantula yay!! 👏🏻

@colossal-summer submitted: This velvet ant has been living with me since summer and she likes to dig. 🧡 She's a cutie but I always triple check her lid is on tight.

Ohh!!!!! I love her!!!! Look at her go. Incredible digging skills. Smart to keep her safe in her enclosure though! No one wants to deal with that sting.

The Glasswinged Butterfly Today’s lovely lepidopteran is a member of the brush-footed family called Greta oto, or the glasswinged butterfly. It is named after its uniquely transparent wings, which give it the advantage of camouflage without any extensive coloration. This butterfly fits in wherever it goes! In Spanish speaking countries, this butterfly is sometimes known as espejitos, or “little mirrors”. Its glass-like wings may evoke an air of fragility, but this dainty-looking creature is actually capable of carrying up to forty times its own weight and it has been known to make long migrations. The glasswinged butterfly is typically found in Central and South America, and thrives in tropical rainforest conditions.

Saw some neat waspies today!

I FINALLY was able to get close to one of those giant black wasps I see sometimes, there were two of them and they were so lost in the milkweed sauce that they didn’t care that I was there at all

Extremely beautiful springtail, Lepidocyrtus paradoxus. Totally covered in iridescent scales - my photos do a poor job of capturing just how shiny this animal is.
