Ran across this black snake today. Nothing fancy, just one of the many snakes we see here in Southern Indiana.

I actually enjoy coming across stuff like this. You never know what you’re going to find when you’re out and about! 🌳🐍

I released him right after the photo shoot 😂😂😂. No reptiles were hurt. Just a couple photos. 😂

😂 Apparently, even the bugs around here know how to hide from the pest control guy.

Found this little guy today sitting on the rocks, and I had to stop and get a picture. He’s a Protean Shieldback katydid (Atlanticus testaceus).

I’ll give him credit—he picked a pretty good hiding spot. Unfortunately for him, hiding from someone who makes a living finding bugs probably wasn’t his best decision. 😂

No treatment needed on this one. He’s just out here doing his thing.

Pretty cool what you can find when you slow down and actually look around. 🦗🌿

Well, I wasn’t expecting to see this today… 😂🐍

I was checking out the creek when I spotted this little guy just holding his head above the water like he was waiting on his Uber. 😂

Turns out he’s a Northern Watersnake. He wasn’t interested in bothering me… just sitting there watching the world go by.

Apparently even snakes know it’s too hot to get completely out of the water. 😂

Nature is pretty cool when you slow down and actually look around. 🌿🐍💦

🪲 Now this is a pretty cool beetle!

I came across this Carolina Copris while I was out working and had to stop and get a couple pictures.

This is a dung beetle, and it’s actually the largest species of dung beetle in North America. They can get around an inch or a little more, and when you see one up close, you can definitely tell this thing is built for digging.

What I find really interesting is how they go about their business. Unlike the dung beetles you see rolling a ball across the ground, these guys dig down underneath the dung and bury it. They use it for food and to raise their young.

So basically, this big black beetle is out there doing some serious cleanup work and putting nutrients right back into the soil.

Not every beetle is a pest. Some of them are actually pretty important little pieces of the ecosystem.

Nature never gets old. 🪲🌳

Came across some really cool ambrosia beetle activity on this tree stump.

What you’re seeing here are the little frass “toothpicks” the beetles push out of their galleries as they bore into the wood. When you see a bunch of them like this, it can almost look like the tree is growing tiny worms.

Ambrosia beetles have a pretty incredible relationship with fungi. They carry specific fungi into the wood, cultivate it inside their galleries, and then feed on that fungus. So in a way, these tiny beetles are actually farming underground inside the tree.

The little tubes sticking out of the wood are one of those signs you can easily walk right past if you’re not paying attention.

I’ve worked around insects for years, and this is still one of the things I enjoy most about being outside — there’s always something interesting going on if you take the time to look.

Nature is pretty amazing. 🌳🪲

🐛 Check out these hornworms!

I ran across these two today and thought they were too cool not to share.

These are to***co hornworms, and they are some BIG caterpillars. The first thing you notice is that big red horn on the back, but don’t let it fool you — that horn won’t hurt you. It’s not a stinger.

These guys can get around 4 inches long, and they’re some of the biggest caterpillars you’ll come across here in Indiana.

They spend their time eating plants, especially things in the tomato and pepper family. If you’ve ever found one on your tomato plants, you know they can eat a LOT in a short amount of time.

Eventually, they leave the plant, go down into the soil, and pupate. Then they come back out as a sphinx moth.

I always enjoy finding stuff like this while I’m out working. There’s a whole lot of interesting stuff living right around us that most people probably walk right past without ever noticing.

Nature is pretty amazing when you stop and take a closer look. 🌿🐛

🐛 DON’T LET THIS LITTLE GUY FOOL YOU!

Came across this saddleback caterpillar today, and while it looks pretty cool, this is one caterpillar you don’t want to pick up!

That bright green body and brown “saddle” make it easy to recognize. Those little hairs and spines can deliver a nasty sting if you brush against them. 😬

They’re not a pest we normally need to worry about controlling, and they’re actually a pretty interesting part of our local ecosystem. But if you see one, look—but don’t touch!

Nature is full of some pretty amazing creatures… and a few that come with their own built-in warning label. 😂
