Great shot!! I love Jumping Spiders! Their so darn cute! There are so many different kinds. Some with such beautiful coloring! :) ♥

Actually, I may not be sadly. I start college this fall and I have a job interview Tuesday for a summer job (I'm a shoo-in), so my summer's going to be busy. Usually I go somewhere. My family is saying only surrounding states are only options. So it looks like I'll be doing short solo hikes around Iowa/Nebraska/South Dakota if I have time (Which I hope I do!) Maybe do some stuff up in Minnesota. I am hosting a moth event in July for moth week too.

No need to be jealous Logan! You have awesome photos and you have most of the things I find where you are at. I'm always amazed that I keep finding new things locally. I'm heading down to central Missouri at the end of June, and will be heading out to Tennessee in July. Can't wait to tromp some new territory. Are you headed anywhere?

Thanks beaker! Got any cool trips planed for the summer that I should be jealous of? (Because I'm basically jealous of all your spottings already because you find such awesome things)
