✨ It’s Bug Community Day! 🐞

Nothing like some bugs on flowers to brighten up this gloomy (kind of wintery??) day! Stop and smell the roses, and say hi to the bugs there! 🦗
Thanks to @sammreynoldz and @clarissacapko for these photos! 📸

Giant water bugs are one of the many freshwater invertebrates that get infected with mites❗️These guys are more commonly called toe biters - sit and wait predators that hide in substrate waiting for a snack to come along 🍽️ Watch your toes 💥
