Happy #Arachtober everyone! If you have a spider phobia you might want to mute that hashtag now, because there will be spiders this month.

Can't remember his name (I'm THUH WORST @ names) BRILLIANT work, shirt says TS--something like Thomas Shehan? Followed him on twitter. eef! If you can't find him, bug me again and I'll dip back into Xitter to find him. Such great work & lots of diff designs. I buy VERY little, HAD to have this.

after years of searching, I finally found Phidippus insignarius! - a perfect adult male on a lichenous stick in the woods, NE Oklahoma 😍
🌈waiting for the traffic to thin out a bit after the eclipse, I spotted this BEAUTIFUL rainbow scarab (Phanaeus vindex) dung beetle crawling about the clovers. First time photographing a male of this species - note the large horn! 🤩
🌙Shootin the heavens from Heaven(er), Oklahoma - some crops showing off solar prominences from yesterday's eclipse!🌞 So grateful to have experienced two totalities now! 500mm mirror lens f/8 1/1600s iso 80
Initially, I had NO idea what these tiny alien things were -distracted by the intricate flowery bits, I was even considering fungus!🙄 Once home, a bit of research reveals they're assassin bug eggs!🥚The eggs of Sinea spp have fancy corollae - making them look like tiny flowers!🌻
