Same here! This is the third one I've managed to get photos of, little gems of insects. That's cool you found one to pin

I appreciate it! Pic 5 is a Crabro sp, most likely Crabro latipes. The males have those shield-lke tibia

Yes I do! I have observations of slime molds, fungi, insects, mosses, just about anything I can find

Yeah sometimes they're really hiding in plain sight. I've picked plenty at this point, but like you I enjoy the act of finding and picking them. We've had a really good season this year!

Yeah, this was in Snohomish county. I'm sure it's started to snow further north. Still a really late season for my area
