I did not know there is a Hummingbird Moth, I love all the pictures this week. It’s interesting how close you can zoom on the caterpillars face. Thank you all.
That mean looking bug is a Dobson Fly. Their larva live in free flowing rocky streams and are called hellgrammites.
They do bite if provoked.
Thanks very much to everyone. All are beautiful.
The giant bug is a Dobsonfly. They do look imposing!
Jane Nalioff you have done it again; I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw Red dealing with an itch!! Thank you so much for the Loon series too.
thank you all for the pictures. Grey fox and doe was a special picture. And the black bear up close..wow!
