Seconds before I fell face first into the web.

Dew drops!

I love playing with these.

Look at this little freak.

Fluffy.

Oooh, what variety?

The SVB struggle is so real!

Growing in a crack in a local pavement, worn and trodden flat, a Jersey Cudweed is still doing its best to flower.

A spotted jewelweed flower looking gorgeous despite the plant growing in a crack in between the foundation and pavement. But a plant thrives where a plant thrives.

Seussian crooked stems topped by a 2-3x bigger dandelion. A certified freak, seven days a week.

Illustration from 1813 showing four detailed, colored insects believed to be related to cockroaches and similar species. The largest insect (labeled 33) has extended wings with blue-green patterned hindwings and reddish forewings. A smaller insect (34) displays reddish and yellow spotted wings with a brown segmented body. Two other smaller insects (35 and 36) appear with simpler brown, red, and yellow markings. All insects have long, segmented legs and antennae. The background is plain, emphasizing the insects' anatomical features and vibrant wing patterns.
