Well, it seems I haven’t missed this weeks poll, so here are some stacks I took recently, and ended up spending “three” days stacking and editing (technically, on the second day, I got kinda sidetracked photographing stuff…)
A bee-mimicking robberfly, which actually had me fooled at first! (https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/508819709)
And here is a beautiful Platycryptus undatus, or better known as the Tan Jumping Spider (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/283184771).
And finally, a very colorful (color was not exaggerated) Oxyopes aglossus, and maybe even one of the first males on Inat! (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/283184766)
