I love bugs, its 1 of mother nature best inventions. They clean up, are food or transporters. All of the bugs are from Austin, Texas US.
Dragonflies are predators found near water.
I think this is a Harvestman but I’m not 100%, if anyone knows, please let me know.
This is a stinkbug, they can get as big as a human thumbnail. Their smell is to get away from predators.
This pretty one is a Giant swallow tail, have the nickname ‘orangedog’ 🙂
Just so you can see the sizzzze of it wooHoooo 
Let me present the Black and yellow garden spider, ain’t she pretty???? Yes it is a female as she is so big. One fun fact with this one is, the pattern on their legs are actually different like fingerprints. The web was huge, almost a arm full in size. Hope you liked it as much as I did sharing them with you all.
All very great, I love creatures.
Cool photos
Thank you Pamela
Am happy with most of the bugs but you can keep the spiders… although those dudes do tend to stay in the garden. It’s the hairy biggies that come inside that freak me out.
