Now, it is to be known that this tree is inside of an atrium within a house so it doesn’t really have access to wind or other trees, but we noticed this on the tree today and it is ALL over. Anyone have an idea of who created this masterpiece? AND whether or not it hurts the tree/home/etc?

These guys are so pretty ✨️

Reno Nevada. Absolutely tiny little guy. Any possible ID’s appreciated since I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bug this small!

I believe this is a 10-lined June Beetle, but this is the first one I have ever seen. I went outside tonight and it scared the hell out of me because it was so big (about 1.5 inches)! But that little face is actually adorable. Sharing here because no one irl will appreciate it 😁

The red-banded hairstreak (Calycopis cecrops) has evolved what’s often called a false-head.

They have tail-like projections from the outer edge of their hind wings that mimic antennae. When perched, the butterfly will usually rub its wings together to make the tails move like antennae. In addition, they possess patches of dark scales near the tails that look like eyes.

By convincing a predator that the back of the butterfly is the front, an attack to the less vulnerable area of the insect allows for better chances of escape and survival.

I’ll never get over seeing butterfly scales up close!

I live in East Texas. Saw this guy and work and cannot identify him. It was also remaining stationary whilst beating it's wings incredibly fast. Is this a cooling mechanism?

There was like five crawling on my ankles

There was a third species of wasp but I wasn't quick enough to capture him.

The fly actually waited very patiently until they left then crawled in the fig too.

Found in Belgium
