Love all the nature things and critters ❤️ Anything pink, shiny, or fluffy is an A+ specimen in my book. Most other things would be a normal A.

Started as a birder, and decided to try “bugging” to get over my (really embarrassing) fear of bugs I developed randomly after moving a year ago. I think it’s because I went from growing up in the country for 18 years to a city that doesn’t really have many bugs and I suddenly was no longer used to it, lol. Now, I actually like to see bugs, a lot more than before I was scared at all! Even when a big one startles me or scares me, I just jump, give a little yell, and sheepishly take a photo.

Sort of shy and new to some things, so if I sound weird or don’t respond to a comment assume I tried like 50 times and got too embarrassed and gave up.

In general, here’s my tier list of favorite general groups at the moment!

  1. Butterflies and Moths
  2. Mammals
  3. Odonata
  4. Bugs so small my boyfriend thinks I’m lying until I show him the camera
  5. Flowers
  6. Birds

And for fun, my tier list of things in nature that scare me the most.

  1. Ticks
  2. Hanging thieves….. (The other day it seemed fine… maybe they aren’t after me…)
  3. Poison
  4. Spiders that aren’t fuzzy
  5. Centipedes and milipedes (starting to think they’re cute sometimes… not sure)
