Found these two at the top of a hack berry tree I cut down. Biggest one I have ever seen. I put my chain saw bar next to them for a size reference the bar is an 18" echo(fantastic chain saw btw). I buzzed off that branch and carried it to a near by cedar elm tree for relocating the mating refugees.

Some of the Ugliest ones I have seen, were when I was in New Zealand when I was younger. We came across some Cave Weta. Those cave crickets gave me a good scare when I realized they were on the cave surface above my head. LOL.

Dammit! Just saw a black widow at the base of one of my bridgesii. Didn't have a camera with me and she moved by the time I got back. Gonna keep a watch for her. . . .

I know it's not on any of the Basil seedlings, but I like to think that it's watching over them.

Jumping spider on my PC. I love these things.
I went to take a picture of it and it kinda startled. Then all of a sudden this little bug flies in front of it and the spider jumped and grabbed the thing out of mid air.
I got some pics. Spider got some eats. . . Win win.

I saw these caterpillars, worms, or whatever, on the tip of one of my kratom trees. I clipped the branch and dunked it in bleach water. I'm sure those things would have grown and done a lot of damage. Also, I see there are some black ants on the tips of my Kratom. Mostly I see them very near where the caterpillars were. I'll keep an eye on them, they don't seem to be hurting anything, I'm inclined to think they were there to work symbiotically with the caterpillars, and they may move on since the caterpillars have been removed.
