Bugs in the backyard

While exploring my yard, I was delighted to find a variety of fascinating creatures right around my house. The first was a Western Conifer Seed Bug, recognizable by its long body and distinctive reddish-brown coloration. I spotted it clinging to the bark of a tree.

Not far from there, I noticed a few Cross Orbweavers spinning intricate webs between the branches. Their distinctive markings and skillful weaving caught my eye as they patiently waited for unsuspecting prey.

As I continued my exploration, I spotted a Western Honey Bee buzzing around some nearby flowers. It was busy collecting nectar and pollen. Watching the bee flit from bloom to bloom was a beautiful sight.

Finally, I discovered a Paradise Jumping Spider, stalking prey and jumping around.
