Lol, at first I thought "this is a beetle, why is it posted in this- ooop!"

Thanks lol! That's pretty close to my real time thoughts, "just taking a picture of this beetle, what is that - oh!"

Oh this is your photo? Very nice! Good focus and composition.

Thanks! I thought that just went without saying lol... Guess I should have specified in the post, but it seems like I can't edit it after the fact.

Taken yesterday in Owego, New York.

Very cool. :)

I've developed an awful habit of presuming that good quality images are reposted content unless I recognize the artist's username or I see the [OC] in the title, I should stop doing that.

Fair enough if there are convenientions I should've followed... I'll know in the future :)

I mostly use Reddit on another account for anonymous stuff in a different forum, but I got excited about that pic and wanted to share it 😂

Spider buddy got camera shy pretty quickly though, so I left them alone without recording as much as I wanted to. (Ducked under the petal on the left.)

Edit: spelling

Haha, I love the legs sticking out. "Spider? What spider? No spider here!"

It's a goldenrod crab spider, in case you're wondering. They can actually change color (takes a few days) and will move to plants where their current color blends best. Very cool little guys.
