Observaciones de damus

Looks like a queen. She was moving pretty fast, so pics are blurry.

Nabbed a fly out of midair and sat on my leg eating. Chewed its whole head off!

Dead, had probably been eaten by something. Or killed by someone ignorant and fearful of wasps.

Pictures are slightly blurry, as my phone seems to really hate spiders for some reason.

Found the poor thing stuck in the bathrooms, and did a quick and dirty photoshoot before releasing him. My first mantidfly, I am over the moon!

Tons of these guys out today.

'tis the season for my absolutely garbage pictures of butterflies! Hopefully this is identifiable to species.

Stem was three-sided; growing in sandy, dry soil.

Dead in the parking lot.

Attracted to lights after a storm.
