I haven't been taking my camera out much this year so I don't even have enough spider photos for each day of October from the past year? Crazy. Anyway, have a cute little jumper!

@futurebird I really liked that book. I was pushing the #NeverHomeAlone tag hard for a while, but it never took off unfortunately.

Haven't posted in a while so here's a termite:

I forgot the most important hashtag #NeverHomeAlone and I might as well add #SriLanka

Found this poor queen Weaver ant in my laundry room half baked and totally dehydrated. She couldn't move her middle set of legs when I found her. First picture is before giving her water and second is after. I doubt she will successfully mate, but now she at least has a chance.

If you know who this couple in congress are, please tell me. I believe they are something akin to an Odorous House Ant, but not really sure. I need to find some good resources on the local ants. The male kept readjusting himself as if it were with great difficulty their union was formed. They were both feet down on the glass tail to tail to start. Then he seemed to corkscrew himself in...

Finally dusted off my camera. I believe this is the Red Dwarf Honey Bee (Apis florea) which loves hanging out in my laundry room. I need to figure out a way to keep them out. They can come and go freely as it is open to the outside but the venting slants upward to the inside. Bees tend to go up when they hit something, so they fly back in. If they were beetles, no problem. They tend to fall.

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?
