I found myself pretty distracted by leaf and treehoppers this summer. My favorite might be the broad-headed sharpshooter (Oncometopia orbona). #insectsofinstagram #arthropodsanonymous #cicadellidae #insectagram #sharpshooter #Oncometopia #bugs #critters #nature #biodiversitt #ecology #illinois #grassland #midwest #prairie #prairierestoration #insect_macro #entomology #naturephotography #insectsofig
I love having all this behind my house. There's a large, winding creek and an extensive trail system. On a bike ride this morning, I saw egrets, indigo buntings, a box turtle, and possibly a summer tanager. #biking #whereilive #nature #conservation #prairierestoration #pinoakswamp #missouri
Sorry to spam with fire but seriously, how cool!

I ended up coloring my coyote instead of making another Inktober piece.
