Pu'er is an interesting world. I got into pretty heavy a few years ago. It's the next 'trendy' area like fine wines. Pu'er is often referred to as "fermented", but since the process is aerobic, it is actually more of a composted tea... But fermented sounds more palatable to masses.
I was drinking a 2009 Mengku ripened tea last night. Sometimes I like it with half/half, but I usually drink them straight. If you like coffee with cream, try a pu'er with half/half, it is better than any coffee one could imagine.
I really like raw fresh strong pu'er. The more gu-shu, the better. It's usually too strong for others, but I like the rich, almost tobacco-ey taste of a really young tea.
I'm gonna try a pu'er Arnold Palmer. Never heard, or thought, of that combo before!

I think this is a Luna polyphemus moth caterpillar

Badass wasp eating what I think is a harmful (to cacti) moth grub. These wasps live in the bamboo I have around for stakes

Beetle thing on a sunflower.

Stick bug taking a shit on a sunflower.

Stick bug 'walking' on sunflower.

Stick bug getting ready to chow down on a sunflower. I think he had enough of me taking pics last night. I couldn't see him today anywhere.

Big-eyed flying bug on a sunflower leaf.

Green bug on an angel-wing begonia. The leaf was sun-burned not eaten by this bug.

Wasp on a sunflower.

Can you guys ID spider species. Small mom spider have spent weeks in one spot, made web around. I've noticed there's new spiders hatch and plants are full of them.

They don't care about bigger dead bugs on web. Size is approx 1mm adult. (Young ones are pale, not so smaller than mom and there's lots of them around)
Seems to me momma have nest at one of my peruvianus-cuzcoanus-whatever. Now shitloads of small young spiders run around. They are very small, hard to take pics.
Just curious, they seems to hunt something else than any big bugs.

Nice pics!
 Some kind of spider on Dagga stalk.

I've been enjoying your pictures El Torcho. Keep them coming.
Here's some bug I found on a log covered in a slime mould while out mushroom hunting. It's about 3mm long and very colourful. More colourful than the picture shows. I think it's a mite of some description, but I'm not sure.

Damn! That's a nice pic karode
I know it's not but it almost seems photo shopped with the colors going from the bright of the mite to the dim shiny of the goo it's crawling on.
Good one dude

That's a good one Tortoise, beautiful
Also here are a few pics of Monarch Butterfly caterpillars munching down on some of my milk weed I should have added here awhile ago.

 This one was on my red milk weed flowers and it is absolutely tiny here whereas the others I took pics of were pretty large.
