The walk in the forest area earlier this week brought in some interesting sights... here's something that the #invertebrate feed might find interesting. #Photography #Nature #BackyardWildlife

It's been a while since I last came across a Frog in the wild (and had the camera ready to photograph). Indian Bullfrog. #Photography #BackyardWildlife #Nature #herps

look at this tiny spood that has made such a pretty web, at first glance it almost looked like a snow flake stuck in time and space. #Invertebrate #Photography #nature #backyardwildlife

Look at this tiny birb I found during my morning walk (behind our building) Can't figure if a Prinia (most likely but which one?) or a Thick-billed Flowerpecker (what iNat is most confident on). #Photography #Birds #nature #BackyardWildlife #IDmyBird #BirdButt

#Bumblebee visiting another white #flower in the garden, an Althea (aka Rose of Sharon). The #bumblebees seem to prefer white #flowers around the house, or maybe it just appears that way because they are more noticeable against the white.

Anole in my window.

A flying #squirrel but not a flying squirrel.

Photo ID says this is a Scudderia furcata, a Fork-Tailed Katydid nymph, spotted in the garden hanging out on a Turk’s Cap leaf.
