I think im in love

I opened my garage door and noticed this guy coming down on a strand of silk. I put my hand out to try to get a picture (otherwise the camera would focus on the car). He landed on my hand so I was able to get a good photo. I am not sure of the species, but I think it’s a male. He’s tiny whatever he may be.

li’l guy just hopped right into the shop one day.

Would love an ID if possible! Socal :)

Before anybody gets upset about touching marine life, let me explain that little fella swam onto me without my knowledge. When I first noticed him I was in mid water and he had nowhere else to go except to stay close to me.

My theory is that he hopped on while I was taking some close up photos of something else. I checked my computer and was surprised to see him tucked in there.

I took a few pics, then swam to the nearest patch of coral and set him on his way.

Walking across my driveway with a lonnnnng way to go in either direction….

Hmmmmm.

he was mid hand cleaning and heard a spooky noise

I was doing some trail maintenance work at my local state park (in northern VA) and kind of dug out the soil and leaf litter where this friend was hiding. After a little photo session, I removed him to a safer spot.

Anyone know what kind of caterpillar it is?

I was setting up an isopod culture for my ivory millipede when I realized the dirt I collected had lots of baby greenhouse millipedes! I love millipedes to an unreasonable degree so now I will become their father too!
