It’s that time of year, Monarchs are on the move. It’s hard to imagine these delicate creatures flying across the ocean

A pretty female #BlueDasher dragonfly looking at me as I took her photo along a trail at Great Meadows NWR (Concord, MA - 9/14/26) 🤩🤎🩵👀

A small female Blue Dasher dragonfly with large red and turquoise eyes, a yellow and brown striped thorax, an abdomen with narrow, parallel yellow streaks against a darker background, and four transparent wings. This dragonfly landed on a green leaf close to where I was walking along a trail at Great Meadows NWR in Concord, Massachusetts. There are more green leaves with reddish-yellow stems in the background.

Anyone ever seen a pinker Vestal?! 🩷 Found this tiny stunner in the Amberley Bottoms. #rhodometrasacraria #sussexmoths #ukmoths #teammoth #mothsmatter #bugsky @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

A resourceful Common Eastern Bumblebee searches within a Golden Clematis flower for pollen to add to the impressive basket on her hind leg.

THERE ARE TWO OF THEM
OMG OMG
I gotta get more milkweed
🌱🌱🌱 #bugsky

Two monarch caterpillars, one large and one smaller but not minuscule, share a well-gnawed milkweed leaf. The caterpillars are yellow, white, and black striped, with long thin black tentacles at each end.

Big girl, you are beautiful 🐝 #insects #bugsky

A large, very yellow bumblebee, maybe a queen Bombus pensylvanicus. She is lifting off from a spotted bee balm flower.

Talk about a result, I didn't think pairing my Stenophylla lobivertex was successful as I never saw the male and female actually connect, but lo and behold 16 teeny tiny dragons have hatched from the ooth :D

a closeup of a praying mantis leaning on the yellow plastic lid of a light trap. The mantis' reclining pose and direct gaze recalls glamour shots. A 3x adapter has sharply restricted the depth of field, attenuating the outlines of the animal's antennae and body below the neck

Metallic bristle fly, Archytas metallicus on white meadowsweet. Adults are pollinators and larvae are believed to be parasitoids. Not much is known about them it seems.

All the basic infos are here but if you want to learn more, there’s more in the thread below!⬇️🧵

Mid September & the buddleia bush is slowly turning brown, but this Red Admiral #butterfly was still hanging on in there about an hour ago. #butterflies #nature #bugsky #insects

Portrait orientation face on picture of a red, white & black butterfly hanging upside down feeding on one of the last clumps of small pink flowers on a buddleia. The background is more of the bush, but most of the rest of the flowers have died & behind that is some tarmac.
