I hope old photos are okay? I'm getting antsy cooped up inside waiting for the snow to melt so I'm looking through my Flickr at a bunch of old photos and I figured I'd post here since I think you guys might enjoy them. We don't have the most "exotic" species here in Wisconsin but we've still got a ton of cool stuff!
A lot of the places I do photography at have strict no collecting policies and you're only allowed to take edible fruits, mushrooms, etc. so I don't really collect, but it's still fun to go out and see what lives around me.
Unidentified mite, April 19th 2019. These guys were huge! Biggest I've ever seen.
Deer Tick (Ixodes scapularis), May 19th 2019. The diseases they spread really scare me but I think ticks are so cute.
Unidentified mite, May 28th 2019. Another mite, not as big as the first one but still decently sized.
Bald-faced Hornet (Dolichovespula maculata), June 4th 2019. I adore wasps and it's always a nice treat when these big dudes visit my yard.
Rose Chafer (Macrodactylus subspinosus), June 6th 2019. Some beautiful beetles bumping butts.
Unidentified Opilione, June 13th 2019.
Unidentified isopod, June 24th, 2019. T. rathkii maybe?
Big Dipper Firefly (Photinus pyralis), June 26th, 2019. Fireflies are so cute, I love their big eyes.
Unidentified leech, July 19th, 2019. I love leeches but it's so hard to photograph them, they're so wiggly! He's not biting me in this picture by the way, just holding on.
Eastern Pondhawk (Erythemis simplicicollis), July 21st, 2019. Dragonflies usually fly away but this guy let me get really close with my macro lens!
It'll only let me attach ten files but I've got more pictures if you guys want, just let me know.
