Downy Goldenrod [Solidago puberula] [Needs ID]
[My first undergrad assignment in Martin Naumann's Ecological Methods at #SimonsRock was to spend an early Fall afternoon observing a large stand of Golden Rod in an abandoned apple orchard. It was quite a lot like Darwin's "tangled bank" 😎 ]

This is a Texas powdered skipper (Systasea pulverulenta). It's a skipper, not the most stunning butterfly, but it is my 590th identified insect species. Always nice to find a lifer Lepidoptera, and even though it's still hot out it's nice to see some signs of fall coming.

A group of Mangrove Jewel Bugs (Calliphara nobilis) spotted on a leaf at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 3 Sept 2023. When I attempted to take shots of another gathering, half of them flew away, so I left that group alone.

This very creepy looking sight is the shedded skin of a dragonfly (or darner) larva. Supposedly a dragonfly emerged from it. Lake Cunningham, San Jose, California, Sept 2023

This fluffy furry ball looks ready to become spider wasp food. Also looks like an octopus, its limbs hanging limp under its globular abdomen, the thorax and head somehow hidden away. Despite, it’s all an appearance: notice a pair of limbs keeping a tab on silk strands, awaiting the signal that indicates prey—in other words, alert.
Gorse orbweaver spider, Agalenatea redii. Quite tiny, sitting on a forked twig, awaiting rhe moment to zap a distracted fly or bee http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/181796813

Busy native bee with a large stash of yellow pollen under its abdomen. Looks like pixie dust.

Despite appearances, this photo wasn’t taken in a studio, but on a late afternoon walk with the sun low on the horizon and no flash at all: the sun was my flash, shining on from under my camera.
