This is the only wild snake I've seen in person that wasn't a garter snake (July 2017). [Oregon]1yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthissnake
[Oregon] Please excuse my artistic masterpiece. The butterfly flew up very high and was never close enough for a picture. This is more or less what I remember it looking like.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug
This is obviously not the bird I was expecting at the suet feeder. I think it's a mouse, but my father thinks it's a rat.1yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/animalid
I tried taking a picture of this curious jumping spider before he jumped. I believe you can see the result.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiderbro
Juvenile house centipede I found on the side of a store and brought inside for a photo session.5yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/awwnverts
Female Pimoa spider with easy to see abdominal markings (not always the case). She was very friendly.5yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders

I found some really cool leaf-like lichen on some trees at the park. Lobaria linita6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/mycology
I saw a shadow crawling up my wall, and saw this when I turned to look at the window.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
I gave her a grasshopper. It looks like she's chewing on a cartoon chicken drumstick.5yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/awwnverts
There's nothing that really stands out about this photo, but I really like the way it looks. Two spiders on a railing at the park.3yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
Recently I've started having a good time dragging crane flies in front of hungry jumping spiders. I love that you can make out my silhouette in its eyes.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiderbro
My mom said she saw an unusual spider, and rather than kill it, she put it in a container for me to see because she knows I like them.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
Phidippus reveals fangs in possible intimidation move? (sped up 2x, looped gif)6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders

My vote for most gentlemanly looking jumping spider I've seen goes to Metaphidippus manni.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
Does anyone know what this posture means? If it was a person, I'd say cautiously keeping an eye on something over a fence because you're scared by it.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
This P. Audax is clearly a pro, as seen by the evidence sticking out of his hiding place.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
As you may notice, I've been having fun with a clip on macro lens for my phone. Unfortunately, not all spiders want to stay still for a photo. While it's not centered, it's still a nice photo, and clearly shows eye locations.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
After weeks of searching neighborhood plants, I finally found what I believe is the Mecaphesa Crab Spider I was looking for.7yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
If you know how fast jumping spiders jump, then you know this photo was purely captured out of luck.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
[Oregon] I brought this gorgeous green hoppy bug inside for a photo before it disappeared. I found it the next day and let it back outside.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug
[Oregon] Is this a really dirty Pacific Tree Frog? I found it under a bunch of wet leaves and dirt in the park while looking for centipedes.5yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/herpetology
[Oregon] I posted this on r/slimemolds and was told it could possibly be fungal, so I'm really not sure where to go. Size is about 0.5 - 1.0 mm.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/mycology
6 month old Echeveria hybrids grown from seeds I made by hand pollinating an Echeveria pulidonis flower with Echeveria shaviana pollen.5yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/succulents
I saw this really cool Nomad Bee sleeping on a lavender at the park. Due to it being asleep, I was able to get close enough for a nice photo.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/bees
Seeing the body of this Brown Lacewing through the wings creeps me out more than it should.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug
Most jumping spiders always look so curious, so why does this zebra look so terrified?6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
My Aeonium Velour went from green to purple under the grow lights. The centers of Aeoniums always look amazing.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/succulents

I hear it was more brown in person. Huntsman spider at some Australian zoo place.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
After a terrible battle with mealy bugs that lasted most of the winter, I've finally returned my Cubic Frost outside. Some of the lost leaves even propagated.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/succulents
[Oregon] I thought it was a centipede because of all of the legs, but it matches nothing I've seen before. Especially with the 2 pairs of legs per segment, and the way the segments go in and out.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug
[Oregon] Could this thicc ant be a honeypot ant? I didn't know they existed in the United States.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug
Do philodromids always reach for things? Every time I get within a couple inches, they always try to grab me it seems.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
[Oregon] At the park. Jumped up and down the tree, and flew from one to the other, but was always relatively close. I saw it hanging upside down by its feet at one point.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbird
[Oregon] Does anyone recognize this? I didn't know it was there, then it made loud noises as I walked past it, nearly scaring me to death and causing every bird within 100ft to start screaming.5yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbird
This is what happens when you try to take a picture of a damselfly from the front.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/awwnverts
I have what is believed to be a sub-adult ray spider (0.67mm) in a small container. Does anyone know how I can keep it fed? Even small springtails are the same size as it.5yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
[Aus/NZ] [Outdoor] My mom posted this on FB, says she's seeing it a lot while visiting.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisplant
Oregon. Does anyone recognize this girl? She's very tiny, and has a latticed pattern on her abdomen.5yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
[Oregon] Not necessarily expecting anything, as these were captured by accident while looking at the mushroom. If nothing else, it's neat.7yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug
I cross pollinated my Echeveria pulidonis and my Echeveria shaviana. I didn't realize the seeds were so small. This is 15x magnification.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/succulents
I saw this Larinioides today at the park, but had never seen a pattern like this before. The yellow really stood out.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
This giant Aeonium arboreum was on sale for only $12. Unfortunately, I didn't have any space for it.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/succulents
So, anyone know what to do when an egg hatches? I was going to dump this thing back into the yard when I noticed one of the eggs hatched. I'm afraid of them drowning in a single drop of water.4yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
[Oregon] Assuming it's going to be a ladybug (and it's not some kind of lookalike), is there any way to determine what KIND of ladybug this will turn into? I've never seen one that wasn't all black and orange.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug
[Oregon] I found the coolest ladybug today. I swear to god if this is a Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle...6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug

This lovely Buddha's Temple has been faring amazingly well under the grow light throughout my first winter.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/succulents
I went to check up on the Sarracenia rosea outside. Should I be concerned when it's getting below freezing and the pitchers thusly have giant ice cubes in them?6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/SavageGarden

My hand pollinated Haworthia limifolia X Haworthia tessellata seeds are starting to sprout!6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/succulents
[Oregon] Each one of these is about 1.5mm in diameter. If you scroll up on the home page of reddit, it's about the size and color of the mascot's eyes.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/Slimemolds
Check out this Euphorbia Mammillaris Variegata which I didn't actually buy.7yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/succulents
[OR] Cheiracantium inclusum? I found it sealed in the top of a lily, with the only exit being the top due to the stem being underneath.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
[Oregon, outdoor] At the park. There's quite a few of them, and they all have 3 (only one of them had 4) giant leaves.5yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisplant
[Oregon] I think I witnessed a murder. Scientifically speaking it's interesting, but damn was it brutal.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug
[Oregon] This thing was on the sidewalk. Someone gave it a cap of water. I thought it was a stuffed toy at first, but it was alive (though didn't seem in great shape).5yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/animalid
[Oregon] Small dragonfly with a bulbous abdomen. Powdery white on the underside of abdomen, and a red stripe on the top.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug
If a bug stops all movement once it enters a web, is it possible for a spider to starve by never noticing it? Or does a spider check its web every so often?6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
[Oregon] Walked out of some furniture I was going to put together. I re-located it into a pot as a plant defender. Maybe 6mm. Legs are very stripey.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
[Oregon] It took a few days but I finally got a clear, very close picture of this fly for ID.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatsthisbug

The park near me seems to have a mole problem. This is about 1/6 of it. Is there anything that can be done at this point? Walking gets treacherous when leaves cover the ground.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/landscaping
[Oregon] Do hairy white elbow tufts help indicate Phidippus regius? I've photographed at least 100 P. Audax, and this is (if it is a regius) the first P. Regius I've seen.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/spiders
It's all over the side of the gravel track (like track and field track) at the school nearby. If I had to give it a name, I'd call it jelly mud.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/whatisthisthing
My Graptopetalum pentandrum 'Murasaki' doesn't seem to be growing any longer. Is this fine? It has 3 pups that are getting very large underneath, and I'm worried because they're very close to running out of room to grow.6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/succulents

After ruining all of the flowers, I think I successfully cross pollinated my Haworthia tessellata and Haworthia limifolia a single time (Assuming this is an actual seed pod).6yr ⋅ Phyzium ⋅ r/succulents
