Dun Skipper

[zuzsenpai]

Zuzu's bug-ventures June 8-16, 2024 (insects/spiders from a state park in northeast Pennsylvania) (re-uploading because of file size issues)

I figured I would make a collage after getting so many! A couple of the above photos have duplicates, so all in all I believe I found 65 distinct kinds. I'm still working to ID some of them, but all the ones I think I have ID'd are under the cut. Anyway, it was truly a fun experience. Maybe next time I'll have a camera that isn't a shitty phone!

You can see full size photos of most of these here.

IDs under the cut

Just a note, I'm not 100% on any of these. My IDs are speculative based on google searches, reddit, and so-on. If you think something is wrong, PLEASE let me know!

Also, each image has 9 insects/spiders in a grid. I will be referring to each grid of 9 insects/spiders as a single image below, and identifying all 9 based on rows within the image. If that makes sense. Hopefully it does!

Top row (from left to right): Northern paper wasp (I'm told it's carrying caterpillar meat); Hickory tussock moth; Ground beetle of some kind (could not ID)

Dun Skipper Butterfly (Euphyes vestris) on some mint plants...

[afraidofchange]

Dun dun. Dun dun. Dun dun dun dun dun. Duh-dun! The first human Spectre, a new gash along her jaw that blended with the cybernetics, silently stepped up behind Ash. Mouth went to the smaller woman's ear.

"Lieutenant Commander," Shane rasped softly, fingers curling in the belt loops of the woman's BDUs.

@spectrewolf | unprompted.

At first, she'd heard the door open at some point, but had busied herself with the most recent rifle that needed tending to. It was only when she felt the familiar grasp of the Commander's hands to her belt, paired with that low tone of her voice that told her who had come down here this late in the night cycle.

And it doesn't surprise her, or catch her too much off guard.

"Hey skipper," She answers quietly, and her body relaxes into Shane's touch, leaning back into her slightly taller frame. Hands set the rifle parts down and instead, go for the other woman's hands, squeezing what she can hold between otherwise preoccupied belt loops. "Did Chakwas finally let you out? What's the damage?"

The rain falls on the blessed ones // The rain falls on the damned

Love this House of Heroes song. It has a much softer feel than the rest of the songs on that album, which makes it really stand out. The lyrics are beautiful, and Tim delivers them so well.

[8/21/20] Dun Skipper, Euphyes vestris.

this skipper is as done with everything as I am

[folkpunkbumbercatch]

I'm at disney world and hyperfixating on dndads so uh here's everyone favorite wdw ride (idc if a dad fact/ rad fact disproves them I'm always right)

Henry likes living with the land: an educational boat ride about fruits and veggies sign him up twice. He loves taking lark and sparrow (who find it boring) and talking about protecting the earth.

When asked, Darryl says big thunder mountain, but when Grant was young they would ride Dumbo a lot because Grant liked elephants. So that's his real favorite.

Ron like has strange taste and might have never been pre terry jr. Like Glenn asked his favorite Disney rude and he said the big slide. While Glenn knows that technically there are water slides at blizzard beach he doesn't think Ron knows that.

Okay so I know most people think Glenn is like a Rock n roller coaster guy or maybe a tower of terror or something fast and loose but Glenn loooves the jungle cruise. Like he knows the jokes and the skippers names by heart. He hated the movie, because he felt it made dun of the ride.

Anyways snooze fest over let's get to the interesting characters. Carol loves Soarin. She loves feeling weightless and all the smells, she does not care the wait time.

Samantha loves journey to the imaginary with figment. She thinks its so cute and fun. She wishes there was an inside out attraction.

Mercedes, the fucking legend, loves the haunted mansion she honestly loves the memento more giftshop more than the ride itself. She has asked cast members about witchcraft before and they look at her like she's crazy.

Morgan loves rock n roller coaster, she has always loved loud music and thrills she always had jodie sit with baby nick and she would go on the single riders line at least twice.

Jodie likes the carousel of progress. He likes the traditional family values it instills and the optimism of America's future. What a fucking cop.

Terry Jr doesn't like theme parks but he does like the sports themed hotel. When asked by friends he'll say space mountain because it's fast and cool.

Nick, despite being an e.t. guy at Universal studios, likes tower of terror. Nicholas likes the carousel of progress, because Jodie likes it.

Lark wants a mulan ride so bad it hurts him. That being said he likes everest. It's fast and scary and Henry is a little afraid of the yeti which Lark loves.

Sparrow likes the animal kingdom. Not an attraction guy, just wants to see and pet all the animals. He wants to go to SeaWorld and see a whale, which gives Mercedes and Henry heart attacks.

Grant likes meeting characters, though he'd never admit it. He has a picture if him with peterpan that is so precious to him.

I cant know what wdw will look like in 25 years but if absolutely nothing changes, scary likes tower of terror, Lincoln likes the people mover, normal likes its a small world, and Taylor likes the three caballeros ride.

Skipper

Sorry about the knee close-up. As soon as I knelt down to take their pictures, the skippers were far more interested in me than the flowers. This might be the dun skipper but the are several similar species.
