assassin bug nymph with a hat on its head. i originally thought it was some sort of parasite, but someone suggested it might be part of its egg - which is more likely. #hemitera #bugsky #entomology #macrophotography #macro #photography #insects

Narcissus bulb fly. Fooled me I thought she was a bumblebee at first before taking a pic. #diptera #hoverflies #insects #insectphotography #macro #macrophotography #bugsky

Eudioctria sackeni. very cool to learn what bugs are in my yard, the closer I look the more variety I see. #diptera #robberflies #macro #macrophotography #insects #insectphotography #bugs #bugsky #entomology

i saved this wasp from my bird bath, only for it to run around the perimeter after drying and getting attacked by a spider.. what can you do... #insects #arachnids #spidersky #bugsky #macrophotography #macro

caught this Dissosteria ( sp. carolina?) nymph. was not pleased with me. i really like how grasshoppers kind of have a : 3 face. #insects #insectphotography #macrophotography #orthoptera

omg her sister... going off of inaturalist observations in your area, my best guess is Copestylum apiciferum? Definitely in the syrphid family and pretty sure its in the copestylum genus (which has like 300 species omg)

caught this yellow-haired sun fly (Myathropa florea) expelling some kind of excrement(?) on a leaf and then I believe she might have been depositing eggs in the soil. quite beautiful! #hoverflies #diptera #syrphidae #macrophotography #macro #insectphotography #insects #bugsky

more jumping spiders from today. the last one was moving a seed(?)around ? very curious.

🐛ell @grubcorner.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

I dont have a very good distance lens but eventually ill get one for bird pics too

🐛ell @grubcorner.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

also some new flies i saw.. i think lance fly family and then opomyza ? #diptera #insects

🐛ell @grubcorner.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

some more hoverflies from today (not confident about the second one) Let me know species ID if you know ! (pierce county, WA) my guesses for genus: Styritta - Eumerus - unknown - Toxomerus #hoverflies #bugsky #syrphidae #insects

🐛ell @grubcorner.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

managed to get a hoverfly in flight today for the first time :) #insectphotography #macrophotography #hoverflies #Syrphidae

Female Globetail (sp.? ) that sat still enough for me to catch a picture I didnt notice the little beetle in the corner when I took this #hoverflies #Syrphidae #bugsky #insectphotography #macrophotography #bugs #insects

SHES SO CUTE. angry but cute. I was so surprised when I got bitten I really thought she was a weirdly fast aphid.

🐛ell @grubcorner.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

from what i can find this species is almost exclusively parthenogenic in the US so # imsorrywomen

i dont know what hashtags i should be using . bug enthusiasts what are good bluesky hashtags

Campyloneura virgula I picked off of my potato plant and went to find my camera thinking it was a weirdly fast aphid. my mistake she bit me and left a tiny welt on my hand. very cute but i learned my lesson ^^' #insects #macrophotography #truebugs #miridae #bugs

I think at some point ill get a little bit more picky about composition and the art part of photography but for now im mostly interested in insect (and arachnid) ID and finding species unknown to me around me

🐛ell @grubcorner.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

got a blurry pic of the back before scaring it away

What i believe is a small dusty wave(?) on my window. was fighting with my tripod and couldnt use flash bc of the glass #insects #insectphotography #macrophotography #moths #idaea

🐛ell @grubcorner.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

correction - i believe it might be a birch tree - as for species my best guess is edge striped shield bug..

🐛ell @grubcorner.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

shield bugs found in a willow tree. Pierce county, WA (let me know species if you know. unsure if invasive or not) #truebugs #shieldbugs #insectphotography #macro #photography

:P decided to make an account to dump photos, forgive any blurry or badly balanced light in photos- the macro lens is an adjustment. eventually i will learn image stacking but in the meantime its cool to capture bugs i see around me
