I recently came across three Giant Ichneumons insects, a large wasp species laying eggs on an old log. The whip like tails are about six inches long. They use them to lay eggs in holes that other insects have laid their eggs. They totally ignored me.
While I was walking the Wabash Heritage Trail this weekend I sighted a large bipedal dark fured creature in the distance. I was so shocked that I was unable to keep the camera still to get a good picture. If you look in the center of the photo you can see a dark blur peaking out behind one the of trees.
OK, the only true thing about that story is the I did hike on the trail this weekend. This photo is just an experiment with intentional blurring. I kinda like the shot. The blurring makes it look a little abstractish.
I did sight some other real critters likes this mono colored willy worm.
And this spider
I am doing a little more catch up posting. Here are some photo's of some flowers and fungi I have photographed over the past month or so. I have even thrown in a cattail. It's not a flower or fungi but I didn't have anything else to group it with.
Here are a few pictures of some bugs I have taken. The green and blue bugs were most likely cropped to closely. The image was not sharp enough for how closely I cropped them.
