A windowsill find for #NeverHomeAlone This I believe is Torymus sp. A chalcidoid wasp. I took a leaf with a gall on it I had collected last spring out of a ziplock bag a couple weeks ago. Now I find this lady... I guess I missed some parameter in the bag and letting the leaf dessicate in open air fixed it? I watched the bag for so long it's frustrating this happened. Am I the only one who feels remorse for a dead wasp on a windowsill?

This hashtag is never going to make it, but I'm going to keep trying
This Jumping spider (Phidippus otiosis?) Was on my ceiling this morning. I moved it to my my plants where it should have a plethora of flies and aphids to snack on. Was in a hurry so didn't get a dorsal picture to ID it properly...

These guys hang out on my hibiscus in my basement every winter but this year, they are thriving. I keep finding alates on my windows...
