Don’t go in the tall grass....

I’d love to see a mantis! Them guys are so cool. It’s amazing you got to hatch some!



I’ll have to look for some of my other cicada pictures. I find two or three live ones a year. I find dead ones and their shed casings more often then seeing live ones. You can hear them all the time. As a kid I told my mom that was the sound of summer. Lol

We call them “hot bugs” here as you hear them during the hottest part of summer.

Is this some type of orb?

Found this gal in the house yesterday, they're pretty common and I usually leave them be as long as they're not around a tank. I have no idea what kind of spider it is, nor how venomous their bites are, if at all. However I noticed after downloading pix from phone this one only had 7 legs (8th seems to be growing back) -- maybe it's a good luck sign, I could use some lol.

A spider that big can’t be allowed to live, kill it with fire -_-

Good call Hendre, a quick check of a Thailand Nature Project site confirms this, Sparassidae Heteropoda venatoria.

It does look like an orb weaver, but I can’t seem to find the exact one.

Managed to find a live cicada while cutting the grass, this was the only photo I got before the little bugger flew off.

Lol those are some AK sized ants. Guys if you've never been there, everything is bigger in Alaska. But the worst critters of all in the woods there are mosquitoes bigger than Chicx's owl

Don't be surprised to see these along the road....

We've got those monstrosities down here as well. We call em atomic mosquitoes, but science calls them gallinippers; Psorophora ciliata. I've come to the conclusion that they're proof that nature is chaotic evil in alignment.

Nifty collection! I occasionally find predatory water bugs in my adventures, which is typically pretty cool.

I agree with the others, huntsman spider.
