Not something I'm really wanting to see. This is a #squash vine borer #moth. They are #wasp mimics so they don't look a lot like moths. They're also pretty devastating pests of squash and pumpkin plants. #insect #garden #nature

I'm teaching people about mushroom foraging at @greenvillelibrary (Taylor's branch) this evening, so went foraging myself yesterday to get some fungi to show. Pretty good haul. #mushrooms #mushroomforaging #foraging #library #greenville #yeahthatgreenville #gcls

We find a lot of bess beetles (Odontotaenius disjunctus) in our garden due to our hugelkultur beds and heavy mulching. This is the first time I've found a red colored one (they're typically pitch black). #beetle #coleoptera #insect #garden #nature

These massive (about an inch and a half long) beautiful wasps keep hanging out on my mountain mint. I think they might be a kind of mud dauber wasp, but not certain. Really cool though. #wasp #Hymenoptera #garden #insect #mountainmint

#Arum berries (!NOT EDIBLE!) are really weird looking, but they're quite pretty too. #garden #plants #red #green
