This is one of my favourite finds because of how well she blends in despite her size!
I was with some friends who just could not see her at all and then they were shocked when I pointed her out. (PS she’s a young Darwin Stick Insect, and if you can’t find her have a look at the other shots here)

A killdeer that would have been very hard to see if it weren’t its eyes, throat, and incessant fidgeting.

If it hadn’t splashed around, I would have never noticed it.

Blending in so well I saw it land two other times but then couldn’t find it. It moved a third and I was finally able to find it and get a photo.

This jumping spider, which I found on the rocks alongside a cliff-face while looking for snakes. Apparently it is only the third time this species has been located in Ohio, and the first time in over 100 years!
Edit: I have since found out that there have been a handful of other sightings in Ohio. Still cool, though!

Great photo! It just so happens that when you click on the photo it kind of zooms in on the spider, or else I never would have found it
