A few insects
The last couple months I've made the acquaintance of a few 6 and 8 legged friends.

Met this one inside the James Turrel piece at Cheekwood in Nashville.

I love its face! Met this one inside the James Turrel piece at Cheekwood in Nashville too.

This one lived at my back door for many months until I decided that my arachnophobic housemate could indeed have a heart attack if she saw it. When I moved this one to the backyard, it was three inches.

I found this one in the Lowe's parking lot stranded on a red cart in the sea of concrete. I brought her to a nearby field.
