It looks really familiar. I think I know the name.. it's just not coming to me .__.

tentaclesandteacups asked: Hello!

I'm sorry to clog your inbox with some more adoring fan mail!

My youngest brother is an Autistic Savant, with his particular obsessional field being entomology. I sit with him + scroll through your tumblr + he just LOVES it! We both share a love for bugs, so I just thought I'd thank you for having such a cool blog, and for putting a smile on my baby...

freezingfries asked: HI, I was wondering if you could help me identify this bug. It comes with a story so here goes...

Several years ago when I lived in Alabama I stumbled upon this guy on my deck. No one believed me that he was so big and scary, but cool looking. I ran into another one on my trip to the museum last week, and I must know...what is he?

Anonymous asked: I saw a gigantic wolf spider today, she was magnificent, the size of my palm (~4.5 inches). She lives in the upper outside corner (under a little opening) of my chicken coop. She didn't appear to have an egg sack yet, but I'd have to check again. She was beautiful.

In the Los Angeles area??

Daniel from WTB is giving a lecture and book signing this Saturday! I’m so there.

veryclassy asked: Your blog makes me not so afraid of bugs. Thanks!!

hummingbirdprince asked: So- you've probably gotten this one, but any reason why I shouldn't get rid of those invasive asian stinkbugs that have been coming in swarms besides the fact they stink?
There's this one I just can't catch that has taken a liking to sitting on my drawing hand when I'm not looking...
