i've posted a lot of old world swallowtail (Papilio machaon) caterpillars without giving the adults a lot of attention because they're a pain in the ass to get close to so i'd like to give a shout out to the calmest one i've ever met. not at all a rare find but pretty rare circumstances. like if you found a cloud that you could just walk up to somehow

i even grabbed its plant for literally no reason other than to prove a point

I also found a cicada skin on a tree that had dozens of live ones chirping on it, and saw some swallowtails that were too quick to be photographed. A good day for me seeing bugs!

Found a dead rhinoceros beetle on the ground this morning. Love me a big beetle. Hope it did its job well.
