Best way to find Black-billed Cuckoos where they’re uncommon/rare that I’ve heard of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Six spotted Nursery Fishing Spider I think. The 2nd photo I believe shows baby spiders still in the nursery web built by the spider in the first photo. It also looks like the spider in the first photo maybe working on another egg sack as well.

Clip Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) From our NE Florida backyard a few days ago. Anybody have any ideas what it is? I'm not even sure if it is a bee, a wasp or a hornet. It was pretty good sized. Edited December 6, 2021 by Clip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Went birding near the ocean a couple of days ago, remember this is January, and got eaten alive by no see ums! Still itchy! Arms, neck and face everything that wasn't covered. I certainly have a love hate thing going with bugs specially here in Florida. Love photographing bugs. I hate when they bite me. They love biting me and these no see ums just won't ever be photographed. At least not by me and my equipment. A case in point for them loving me-my husband and I on one of trips further south to do some birding found us having dinner on a covered patio. We got eaten alive while the other patrons seemed to be being left completely alone. Perhaps they are more use to living in Florida and had bug spray on but we couldn't finish our meal fast enough. Let's see Colorado's frigged January temperatures or Florida's bugs? At the moment I'm leaning Colorado. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clip Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 It is January here in north Florida and it has been chilly but there are still a few butterflies to be seen. Common Buckeye and Monarch from today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clip Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 One of the True Weevils I believe. Input on insects is always appreciated if anyone knows for sure about my tentative family id. If you can give a more specific id that would be awesome! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
