When I was little I used to love searching for bugs because I found them fascinating. It seems like I still like to look for them so I've started doing it again. I've also been trying to take pictures of themWell, today I was looking outside my house for bugs and I came across a few that were pretty cool.


First of all I found an Assassin bug. I'm not sure if this is the exact species I found but it's the closest I can find to the one I found:



The bug I found was on a tree moving rather slowly. Apparently, some species can be dangerous to humans and I'm not sure if this was one of those.

After walking for a little while I found an area that had tons of bees, wasps, dragonflies, hornets, etc. I was wondering if I was going to see any big bugs today since the assassin bug was pretty tiny. Then I turned to the left because I saw a wasp fly by my head and what do I see right next to me?

*Dramatic tension*



























After jumping about 40 feet away from it due to my arachnophobia I looked closer to try and figure out what it is. Then I try to get some pictures of it and then a poor bee/hornet/yellow jacket(I forget which it was) flies into the web. I thought the creature might be able to fight the spider off but in less than a few seconds it was wrapped up and being eaten 0.o. See the zig zag pattern in it's web? You probably think that it has a practical reason to be there, right? Well, it turns out that it there purely for decoration. You wouldn't think a spider would have decorations bug apparently they do. It could be that to we humans it seems impractical but to the spider it may seem like a way to attract prey.


Anyways, that's just about everything interesting I found so far today. Bye and have a nice day.
