A relatively large piece of leaf that has been cut away from the rest of the leaf is being carried by a leafcutter ant worker (Atta cephalotes) along a thin twig from right to left.  Another worker appears to be riding the leaf on the other end.

A view from the rear of a moth hovering by some small flowers. The wings are outstretched, with white stripes on a brown background. The lower wing has pink with black around it. The abdomen is large, and has brown and white at the top, and brown, white and black at the rear. The proboscis is visible at the head, going forward and then down out of sight.

πŸ¦‹ I almost let #insectthursday go by without posting one... Spring is springing, and the various winged wonders are enjoying wild verbena around my hill. This is a white-lined sphinx moth (Hyles lineata) from yesterday. #macro #photography #butterflies

A black-striped yellow butterfly (a female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail) feeds from a cluster of pink azaleas. Its abdomen is sprinkled with pollen and it has blue and orange crescents along the border of its hindwings. The blue crescents designate that it's a female.

Helped this tiny Western Pine Elfin (Callophrys eryphon) off the path this week in #PtReyes. It had been nine years since I'd seen one, so meeting this beauty was very special.πŸ’š

A macro close-up photo of a katydid nymph on a yellow rose. Looking similar to a tiny grasshopper, there are dark brown stripes and dots on the legs, stripes on the very long antennae, stripes on the trunk, and big black eyes. The legs are a shade lighter green than the trunk.
