What if there were tiny cowboys with tiny cowboy drama. Tempted to make 'em enemies to lovers.

@ixwantxtoxlivex89 submitted: No IDs necessary. Just some friends I've made recently. A beautiful leafhopper I stumbled across. A jumping spider that hopped onto my leg when I was sitting outside reading. A bee I let dry for a bit on my leg after it got drenched after a downpour. And a stink bug with an injured forewing that I found in our house that I decided I'd just take care of, instead of releasing into the wild (that was almost three weeks ago).

I love them all! But especially the leafhopper...great vibes

Sharpshooters

The sharpshooter's superpower is pee flinging. These insects consume nutrient-poor plant sap, so to get the calories they need, they have to drink 300 times their body weight each day. All that extra liquid has to go somewhere, so the sharpshooter evolved to be an expert excretor.  (Video and image credit: Deep Look) Read the full article
