My DnD character Majora Prestance, a Ranger Swarmkeeper I have been playing since March 2021 ♥ She is very dear to me!
She is an Entler, a homebrew origin I created, based on Tieflings but with insect horns! Find out more about them here.
Eastern eyed click beetle my co worker almost had a heart attack upon discovering. Feeds on nectar, pollen, flowers, and sometimes soft-bodied insects like aphids. Do not harm people. A spine on the prosternum can be snapped into a corresponding notch on the mesosternum, producing a violent “click” that can bounce the beetle into the air. #clickbeetle #entomology #insects #bugs #beetles #elaters #snappingbeetles #springbeetles #skipjacks

Spirobolid Millipede. Occupy moist, wooded habitats. Emerge in spring to mate and lay eggs and remain active until fall. Females seal a single egg in a cup made from regurgitated food. Overwinter in rotten wood or soil. #entomology #bugs #insects #millipede #spirobolidmillipede #nature #naturewalks (at Sweetwater Creek State Park)

Boxelder Bug. Can occur in large numbers during spring, primarily on Boxelder but also on other maples as well as oaks and ailanthus. Adults and larvae take sap from, seeds, flowers, and leaves but cause little damage. #entomology #bugs #insects #truebugs #truebugsofintsagram #boxelderbug (at Ocmulgee National Monument)

Large Flathead Pine Heartwood Borer. Adults sun themselves on standing pines during late spring and summer and will also land on sidewalks, walls, and brightly clothed people. Breed in dead or dying pines and pine stumps. Larvae tunnel into heartwood to pupate, sometimes causing great injury to living trees. #entomology #bugs #insects #beetlesofinstagram #beetle #jewelbeetle #heartwoodborer

Grass Spider. Ground-dwelling. Females construct sheetlike webs on low plant growth and stone fences. The web has a retreat tunnel that serves as a shelter; it’s not sticky: insect prey are rushed, captured, and hauled to the retreat. #entomology #bugs #insects #spiders #spidersofinstagram #grassspider (at Ocmulgee National Monument)

Possibly a Spicebush Swallowtail but I couldn’t get too close to clearly see identifying marks. #butterfly #butterflies #insects #entomology #bugs (at Ocmulgee National Monument)
Bronzed Tiger Beetle. Preys on insects along edges of ponds, streams, and rivers or on coastal beaches and mudflats. May also eat fruit. Adults often seen in large numbers up to hundreds in spring and from late summer to early fall. If captured, will release an unpleasant odor. #entomology #insects #bugs #tigerbeetle #bronzedtigerbeetle #beetlesofinstagram #beetle (at Ocmulgee National Monument)

Six-spotted Tiger Beetle. Hunts small insects and spiders on along woodland paths and in open areas nearby. Unlike other North American tiger beetles, these alight on vegetation. Adults exude a foul-smelling defensive fluid and will turn to face intruders. #entomology #insects #bugs #beetlesofinstagram #beetles #sixspottedgreentigerbeetle tigerbeetle (at Ocmulgee National Monument)
