Another insect field trip
2012.08.04
Some of my fellow classmates, decapitated so that they wouldn't be appearing on the internet without model release. I am not so great with an insect net!

This pretty little thing is an Ailanthus Webworm Moth.
|
This Great Blue Skimmer is being cooperative because I had just carried it a ways down a trail, holding it by the wings as one does with a dragonfly. So, it was a little stressed out.
|
This leafhopper has personality.

This summer seems to be all insects, all the time. Right now I'm taking a course that could be described as "Entomology for General Naturalists," which entails some classroom time discussing characteristics of the various insect groups, and some field trips where we look at the insects and decide what's what. Today we had one of those field trips, and here are some photos from it.
And hi everybody! I'm glad to be back.
