there was a caterpillar hitchhiking inside my pocket today. highly unsafe location for tiny bugs!!
#he was relocated to a plant nearby.#...probably not his proper food plant but ah well.#bug#insect#caterpillar#lepidoptera#(?)#I'm pretty sure anyways. don't think it was a sawfly.

grasshoppers are basically BUILT to be picked up like this I think. that is their sole purpose... to be grabbable....






i'm a hazard i'm a menace i'm a threat. bugs i caught in the 10-minute break between classes. 4 short-winged green grasshoppers (the solid green ones are female but i'm not certain on the brown ones) a ground cricket & a ground beetle that i'm 95% sure is subgenus Pseudoophonus but i couldn't tell you the species. probably just a strawberry seed beetle. yippee!

i am photographing hymenopterans that are smaller and more indistinguishable than you could possibly imagine
#YEAHHH CAMERA RAMBLING#at some point I'd like to get into actual macrophotography. i know nothing about photography in general though#so that is definitely going to take awhile.

cuckoo wasps appear to emanate an aura that lowers their photo resolution to literal nothingness. very devious of them to do this to me

not really! copy pasting one of my previous reblogs because people keep saying it, but:
tiger moth caterpillars are one of the few fuzzy caterpillars that are entirely safe to handle. no poison/venom in their hairs!(...unless you're allergic! in which case if the hairs poke you the wrong way, they will set off a histamine reaction and you will be itchy. carpet beetle larva hairs can also do this!)
so they can hurt a little to someone who's allergic, but even then they'll still hurt a whole lot less than most other fuzzy caterpillars.

can't tell if it's a caterpillar or sawfly larva, but very cute either way :)
