Hormaphis hamamelidis, a gall aphid that hosts on common witch-hazel and is now sold in grocery stores as a corn snack. Most people just use them to put on their fingers so they can feel like a witch though. #insects #galls
Went to look for some nice animals mounting each other to film to go entertain the youtube crowd who apparently have high demands and want to see some action. Didn’t take long to find a whole stack of milkweed beetles clearly in love! Precious!!! 🖤 #beetlepride #nature

Look at this amazing #insect! I believe it's a Black Giant Icneumanoid Wasp, Megarhyssa atrata. This is a female, and that long "tail" is her ovipositor. She can drill into wood with it! #invertebrate

The native RI mountain laurel, kalmia latifolia, is exceptional this year, #CorgiCrew. These are growing next to our driveway.
