Can I offer you a Woodlouse Spider in these trying times?

Always keep your eyes out when you are done and walking back from your walks! It was a dull day with no real finds and then I came across this grub in the parking lot. Turned out pretty good! #macro #macrophotography #insects #omsystems #olympus #natgeo #insects #insect #bugs #wildlife

Does anyone know what flower this is? I was fascinated by a whole patch of them. The hairs and the fact the flowers were all facing down had me fascinated. #macro #macrophotography #insects #omsystems #olympus #natgeo #spiders #spider #bugs #wildlife @ak_diffuser @omsystem.cameras

Bright pink flower with yellow hairs protruding from the center
a flower with a collection of white, pink, and yellow concentric shapes in the middle radiating outward.
Bright pink flower with a collection of dark pink hairs in the middle. Small highlights given by yellow stamen coming from the middle.
pink flower that has slightly dried up so the edges of each petal are curling over. This forms an almost perfect pattern around the entire flower.
A small collection I took the other day during a hike. Which one is your favorite? #macro #macrophotography #insects #omsystems #olympus #natgeo #spiders #spider #bugs #wildlife @ak_diffuser @omsystem.cameras

The face of a grub I found under a log. Caught 2 frames of him just before he ran away into the wood. Never to be seen again.

Close up photo of a stink bug. Magnified to the point you can see the individual sections of its eyes and the hairs on its antenna.
Stink bugs play an important role in nature. They smell so bad that it lets us know we don't want to be there anymore and walk away gagging

Thanks! I have been using UV lights to bring out some unique colors on plants as well. There aren't many that I have found that react to it, but when they do it's amazing
