Hey everyone! I recently visited grandfather mountain and found a few bugs, I found a bunch of spiders and some velvet mites, as well as a tiny harvestman that evaded my camera. It was really fun and an interesting thing is that I didn’t see any isopods, instead, I found amphipods in their usual spots.

Thank you! And yeah, I didn’t spend as much time as I would’ve liked here but it was a very pretty park, I enjoyed seeing the wildlife it had, along with the views!

Fantastic photos! I've been to Grandfather Mountain before, and I noticed a serious hazard to spiders and small invertebrates of all type.
I was at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and saw a sporting even known as the caber toss. Big Scottish guys were throwing giant, telephone-pole-sized tree trunks. These would crush most humans, and any bugs in the fall zone wouldn't stand a chance.
Seeing your photos, next time I go, I will ignore barbaric sporting events and bring my camera with a macro lens.
Thanks!
