INSECTS AND ARACHNIDS
Bugs And Spiders6 Legs VS 8

Insects are the most numerous and the most difficult to photograph and identify.  They should be a study in themselves for the backyard naturalist.  Here is a representative sample of what I've found.  I have combined insects and spiders for convenience.

Yellow Jackets


Wooley Worm


Whitetailed Dragonfly

Wasp

I've seen Banana Spiders over 4 inches.  They are not venemous.  They don't make the prettiest web.
