t’s that time of year where bugs are beginning to emerge from wherever it is they hide during the winter. Here in eastern Oregon, I’m starting to see midges, mayflies, and spiders on the warmer days, along with a few other critters like this stink bug and a western conifer seed bug (the last bug on this post).
Mayfly on the fence.
Midge on the fence.
Jumping spider on the shop.
Long-jawed orb weaver on the shop.
Western conifer seed bug on the house.

Thank you. Luckily we don’t have to like them to be able to appreciate them.

Yes, that is very true!

Wow! They are very cool! I love the look on that spider’s face! I’d rather not see him in person, however! Pictures are good! 🙂 The Mayfly is really delicate & so amazing! Look what God created! So many like that around & we never do see them up close & personal when they are so tiny!
