Cool looking bugs and other creepy crawling things.

They're here! Do your part to save the monarchs! Especially if you have ​kids or grandkids, they love ​seeing the transformation. 

Found a pseudoscorpion yesterday in the house. Seek app helped id it.  Odd 

Looks like I've got a new friend to hang out with.

Move back to where you only have to worry about falling through the ice.

Stick insect p®rn, eh?

  

Better move to Alaska Fowler then you only have to face bears LOL!

I should disclose......lived in Wi forever....the Mrs's and I giving living in the Ozarks a shot.
I like to share our new differences.
Tarantulas in the wild a new norm. Seen our first scorpion the other night. Think I was tagged by one a week or two ago working in the wood pile. Sharp pain , tingling and then 3 boil type sores on the top of my hand. Looked like three scorpion strikes.
Snakes.....Copperheads , rattlers,  cottonmouths clearly present. Was bite in April by a young viper on the forearm. Never felt as I was probably on a chainsaw. Dry bite assuming. Logger buddy pointed out the strike mark. Looked like the Summerfest smiley logo . Mrs had a close call with a cottonmouth shuffling around some stone on a stone wall. That was a rare sighting as we live rather high on a mountain and cottonmouths are more low lying , wet area type snake.
Roadkill copperheads very common in the warm humid months. Mostly evening movements. Its been wild in the wild. Hopefully I survive   

Wow Wisconsin and tarantulas. never saw that spider here by me  and i get it living here in Chicago with the concrete and steel. Seen my share of rats thought  over the years. i have seen several praying mantis over the years though too.

junkie, lots of tarantulas in WI, just not in the wild.

hog, now is the time mantids are most visible...see lots every fall...here's a male I found the other day.

4 of these in the last couple days....only ever seen 1 years ago

...you have tarantulas in Wisconsin?? Say it isn't so...

Tarantula killer wasp. Finally got a decent closeup pic. Kinda creepy as there rather large , comparable size to a hummingbird.
Slow flyers, fly low to the ground in search of tarantula's and wolf spiders. 
Not aggressive but give an incredible painful sting.
We do have a few tarantulas around the property. The most recent tarantula I was able to capture and relocate away from the house. 

Junk, saw that caterpillar on creeping Jenny last weekend h7nting but couldn't id it.  Thanks.

My bro sent me this. Says it's living in his car
