The bug guys side of me

I have always been fascinated with bugs, bugs of all kinds, what boy has not dropped bugs into a spider web to see it eat? I can still recall hanging at the trailer park as a kid and feeding the wolf spiders at night, catching fish flys that covered the side of the trailer on hot summer nights, and breaking the march of ants to see what they would do then. Now I have my own collection of bugs, here's just a couple

Tarantulas come in all color, sizes, and a animal that is perfected by evolution, it is important to refer to tarantulas with latin names as common names are plentiful, some species have 3-4 names making it confusing, I have included common names as well

Cyriocosmus Elegans - Triniada dwarf tiger rump

Grammastola pulchrips - Chaco Golden Knee


And possibly my favorite local bug, I mean it makes my day to find these during summer, and what a photo opportunity

Diapheromera femorata
Talk about camouflage, the stick insect, just awesome
