Spotted this tiny praying mantis peeping in our window. I think just under 2 centimeters long. I tried to get my index finger in for scale.

A small, green praying mantis is doing a wobbly walk on the edge of a window screen. My fingertip looks huge in comparison and causes the insect to hasten away, climbing further up the screen.

Cool bug, looks kinda like a fixed-wing aircraft with its wings stuck out while perched. Would love to know what it is if someone has an idea. About the size of a cranefly, but with opaque wings.

A triangular moth I saw in the woods yesterday amid the wreckage of leaves that it ate
#photo #photography #moth #insect

A mostly white moth with symmetrical brown features on its wings and a yellow head.  It looks like a lifting body spacecraft in shape with a triangular dent in at the back of its wings.  It's standing on a largely eaten leaf and there are more leaves mottled with holes underneath it as well as part of a fern.
