The common rough woodlouse. Otherwise known as a pill-bug or sowbug. i have this little fellow, and at least one other, perhaps different woodlouse in my little jar terrarium. This is the bold one, who comes out to eat. The other one hides all the time.

There's also a centipede in there, a worm, and many, many micro-arthropods. I discovered this when removing some material to put in actual soil, and found the bark and moss teaming with little beasts on the table.

I saw this lovely lady when I arrived at my office a few weeks back. Several inches long, and brilliant green. She hid in the flower, and then proceeded to scoot around trying to avoid the camera. This turned out to be the best shot.

I quite like her translucent ovipositor against the sky.

An eastern box turtle, being sullen. It stayed in exactly this spot for approximately two hours, while we collected data nearby.

A jumping spider on my front door. These guys are very difficult to photograph, as they never hold still. This one was rather large, and had wonder blue-green metallic eyes, which you sadly can't see here.

Little mushroom on a lawn in town.
