Six-spotted Tiger Beetle, Cicindela sexguttata! I was so psyched that I managed to nab this individual. They're blindingly fast (literally - they can run so fast they go temporarily blind)! Seen in central Illinois on 5/19/2024.

@galacticnova3 submitted: Some nice bugs of 2022, all located in Texas. IDs welcome!
•Trained attack moth/potato fairy, possibly a white-dotted prominent?
•A very expressive-looking katydid who would be at home in the Bee Movie I think
•Less expressive green orthopteran that freshened up a bit before biting me, despite having climbed onto my finger of its own volition because it was on the ground and I knew this species liked hanging out in some ornamental grass a small distance away. Pictures taken seconds before disaster(and by disaster I mean oof ouch)
•A very patient tiger beetle; I’m really proud of this picture considering I got it by holding a magnifying glass in front of my phone and turning it upside down! POV you are very small and having a conversation with a bug on a sidewalk
•A dragonfly that didn’t mind me getting so close to take a picture; it might not be brightly colored or showy but I still think it’s gorgeous!
A great group of pals! The moth could be a white-dotted prominent based on what I can see, but I’d need a clearer shot to say for sure. IDing katydids is easier when I can clearly see the wing shape and venation! Just from the front angle, I’d say maybe a common true katydid. Can hardly blame the next one for biting you, I might bite if a giant picked me up, too. Looks like one of the meadow katydids.
GREAT photo of the tiger beetle! Very impressive since they are usually running around at top speed. That one looked like a Carolina metallic tiger beetle, but again, it’s easier when I can see the whole bug and all their markings. And the very lovely dragonfly looks like a twelve-spotted skimmer!
For the future, I prefer just a couple bugs per ID request submission! Makes it easier for me :)

Photo
1st May 2023-Bentley Wood
Pictures taken today in this set are of: 1. Primroses. 2. Spurge. 3. Charming wood anemone. 4 and 5. Stunning scenes of vibrant swathes of bluebells on the forest floor as we have seen before at this another of our key butterfly sites visited for the first time in 2023 today. 6. A beautiful Green Tiger beetle, it’s the fourth year running we’ve seen one now and third consecutive year at Bentley Wood I always feel so fortunate to see this wondrous and exotic looking insect hop across paths. An epic and immersive moment. 7. Some lovely eyelash fungus which I wasn’t expecting to see today and never had here before, one of a few great little things of nature I enjoyed today. 8. A crane fly I believe a cone horn cranefly I was amazed to see on the path towards the end of the walk, I found it so colourful and fascinating. As I’ve got more interested in insects beyond butterflies, moths, dragon/damselflies the past few years I’ve noticed just how rich in insect life Bentley Wood is which is so good. 9 and 10. Great green views in fine sunshine.
Oil beetle and snipe fly as I had seen here before were also good to see on the walk, as were a spider, bee flies, tadpoles and pond skater on the pond, pretty bugle, ground ivy, tormentil, greater stitchwort, garlic mustard and cuckooflower. It was a delight to hear a Cuckoo’s enchanting call reverberating through the woods I have had an amazing bank holiday weekend for these birds I love. Hearing the wholesome drumming of another of my favourites Great Spotted Woodpecker and Pheasant as well as seeing Blue Tit and Brimstone stood out too.
