Never thought I would see a fly rocking a double mohawk before
Not exactly sure what this beaut is, but Strauzia genus was about as satisfactory as I did narrow it down.

hellgrammite!!! (eastern dobsonfly nymph)
I love these so much, their patterns are so beautiful. They can bite pretty hard, but i’ve never had one bite me at all. otherwise they’re harmless!
you can see its abdominal gills as well, which are really fucking cool !!

Some sidewalk slugs out enjoying the rain, and a brown marmorated stink bug :-)

Thought @onenicebugperday would appreciate this but so I had been working as a pest control technician for mosquitoes over last summer. Obvs that much time outdoors lets you come across a lot of critters, and I decided since i haven’t had that job anymore since November it’d be fun to put together a little highlight reel of the other bugs I came across on the clock.
First off we got an impressive katydid

A quite photogenic snail
Tumblr media
My favorite local wasp species, a cicada killer
Tumblr media
A much more common and large red wasp
Tumblr media
Local hanging thief. Absolutely badass looking robber fly who somehow got into the office building
Another robber fly encounter, this one was busy having a snack on a red wasp it has caught
Tumblr media
BMSB that I would usually not like to see, but this one was literally in the middle of molting into the adult form and I loved how it looked like a forbidden peppermint
Tumblr media
What I am going to guess is a very handsome stag
Tumblr media
And of course, my actual target. Mosquitoes are certainly no uncommon sight but I managed to catch this one freshly emerged out of the pupa and that’s kinda neat
(Asian tiger to be specific, not native here but they sure be flourishing)
