I&#8217;d like it to be the case that this international bug of mystery with so many hits on his belt is keeping its identity secret for stealthiness purposes.
But the fact it that I just don&#8217;t know what it is :D
You&#8217;d think that a bug with such striking features as this one would be pretty easy [...]]]></description>

Here is one from Illinois!





I found this guy last fall when I was at the Shawnee Park. It was about the size of my hand. The legs are so long and skinny, it just looks like a levitating bug ball. Harvestmen are pretty cool little creatures.

In case you were wondering what a wolf spiders eyes look like after reading my previous post, they usually look like this!
There are many different species of spiders which we call wolf spiders, and they vary a lot in color and shape. But when you see an eye pattern like this:






It&#8217;s usually a dead giveaway [...]]]></description>

Aren&#8217;t these babies cute?
These are Fulgoroidea, or plant hoppers. When you&#8217;re walking on the grass, you can often see several of these jumping away at every step. They are very fun to play with.
They&#8217;re in the Hemiptera family, along with cicadas, aphids and true bugs. The characteristic that distinguishes them is that Y shaped vein [...]]]></description>

It made me remember this picture I took, of a blue mud dauber. I think the species is called Chalybion californicum, but I&#8217;m not sure.

Nature does seem a little frivolous every now and then. Sometimes it chooses to paint pink spots on a longhorn&#8217;s back.
It is beautiful, but probably not frivolous. She always does it for a reason.
Thanks again to Enmos for identifying it down to the species. You rock.

This is the mighty Phoneutria nigriventer. If you have never heard of it, I am going to explain why, when my brother saw it on our lawn, he came running to me.
We know that all spiders are poisonous, since all but one recently discovered species, are predators. Most spiders don&#8217;t pose any risks to us [...]]]></description>

Most people looking at this page must have seen one of these before. They are pretty common garden spiders everywhere.
The name Argiope argentata means silvery silver face. I guess whoever described it first was really impressed by the silvery coating on their cephalothorax.
The Argiope spiders are very particular about their webs. They make an impecable [...]]]></description>

Hymenoptera is the order of all of those ant, wasp, bee looking bugs, including the weirder ones like wood wasps and sawflies. Then, inside of this order there is the superfamily Vespoidea. Both ants and velvet ants are in this subfamily. 
BUT, ants are in the family Formicidae, and velvet ants have their very own [...]]]></description>
