Any asshole that doesn't like bees deserves nothing in life. God created bees to give us honey and bust my ass shoveling shit that becomes a botanical garden.

Another spider to post, though you can’t really tell she’s there except for her giant abdomen poking out lol She’s been here since last summer and I’ve lovingly given her title of Big Booty Judy
Trying to figure out what type of spider she is but I’m assuming a type of orb weaver based on her body type…her little cocoon is interesting, I’ve been wondering for a while where exactly she hides during the day

Termites have likely failed to swarm this year. It's actually so fucking joever, I'll never get a termite farm. Time to hero myself.

Anyway here's some of my ants with their brood.
