This green leafhopper finally found a place where he won’t blend in with the surroundings :laughing:

Melopsittacus undulatus Budgerigar. The green shines in the late afternoon sun in a way that’s impossible for me to capture on film but they’re really green.

Massive obscure bird grasshopper, around 2.5 to 3 inches in size, and very pretty. It flew away in panic when I got too close, which is how I found it.

Okay, I’ve sized these copies back in an effort to reduce server strain.

This Green Stink Bug nymph looked like it stepped right out of an old sci-fi movie.

This orbweaver was sporting a distinctive hue that I never saw on one before. It was hiding near a lakeshore so I wondered if that had something to do with it.

Jacked! My favorite weevil shot. It’s an Immigrant Green Weevil just astrutting along a fence post. Check out those abs, eh?

Those lovely spiders would also qualify for

Indeed they would. Funny you should bring up the camouflage topic. The only reason I saw the spider in the 2nd photo was because of the dark bee. I spotted the bee from inside of our car and asked my husband to stop the car. I didn’t know what the dark matter was until I got the photo home. But, it drew my eye and made me wonder what the dark mass was then finding the spider through my camera lens. We were inside a State Forest.

I often find spiders when I am actively looking for bumblebees, like this observation:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/126144681
The bee had been freshly caught and the spider was actively spinning it and wrapping it up.
I felt sorry for the bee, but glad for the spider. Circle of life…
