Apropos of nothing, here is an adorable #spider we saw when setting up a tent yesterday. She was very pretty and so fast! A smaller spider (or something) came down the tent and was eaten instantly.
I plan to look her up soon, but if any #arachnid or #entomology people tell me who she is before I do that, I certainly won't mind.
Btw: northeast USA, near Buffalo, NY.
@dantheclamman @bremner @cheribaker @nev you remain undefeated. Thank you!!
#WhatIsThisBug? I'm in Wales and it's about 18mm long in total, 6mm of which is body.
Okay, what is this soggy #insect I found in my garden this morning? (#Carmarthen, #Wales, #UK)
Edit: it's a Birch Sawfly!

Thanks, @LordEdam!
Can anyone ID this insect?
I found this one hanging on a strand of web at night in Southeast Pennsylvania? The web was connected to wild bergamot. Its feet are on the web (it might be hard to see in the pic depending on your monitor), so I don't think it was trapped.
Edit: Its approximately 1.7mm from head to the end of its abdomen (estimated based on the camera sensor size)
