Last week we had photographs for insects for A-M, now let’s finish the alphabet.
Northern two-striped walkingstick
Oleander aphids
Praying mantis
Queen butterfly
Rustic sphinx moth
Sawfly larva (love that color)
Tarantula hawk
Underwing moth caterpillar
Velvet ant (wasp)
Water-strider
Xylocopa virginica – carpenter bee
Yellow jacket wasp
Zebra butterfly
That wasn’t too bad. I only had to resort to scientific names once.
So, now you know your insect ABC’s!
You filled out the last half of the alphabet! I love the color of the sawfly larvae.
I’ve seen the water-striders. It would be fun to be able to do that and explore a lake.
It would be cool to be a big water strider.
Such a great job! You chose important insects that’s for sure- glad for lacewing xylocopa Sphinx moth among others. Inspiring too.
Oh and I’m in New Mexico and our state insect is the tarantula hawk
A tarantula hawk is your state insect? Very cool.
