I'm fascinated by insects, but at the same time have a fear of being bit/stung/poisoned by every bug on earth.
Being fairly new to the region (Western CO, desert region), I see some pretty awesome insects around in the yard & trails and try to snap photos of them when I can so I can identify them. I like knowing about my environment.
Now that the summer is here, the insects are out in full force and I've got my camera in my pocket and have taken some neat photos already this year.
Just today I found this HUGE fucking moth at work in the gravel. This thing was easily the size of a small bird, roughly a 5 inch wingspan - but incredibly beautiful. I have yet to identify wtf it is.
I've got a few pics of a Regal spider that lives on my deck and will post when I can.
I know LS'ers are spread across the globe - how about posting some interesting local insects found around the yard? I'm going to try and keep this updated as I get more pics.

Here's a pretty badass pic of a Black Widow, female, that I found living under my f'ing window sill. The globule was about the size of a large pea. This was the largest of 3 that I found in the same general area.

Regal spider on my kids lawn chair, about an inch in full length, with massive legs in the front used for vaulting onto prey. From what I've researched, these spiders live across the nation and although not venomous, will deliver a painful bite.
Nasty mf.

I firmly believe we mammals are in a permanent natural state of war with insects and reptiles for supremacy. Mr. Moth is cool -- he looks fuzzy and like he might have nursed at birth -- but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck the other critters in this thread.
Having said that, glue a quarter to the end of a stick for perspective.

Eeew. Fuk that.
Sadly, bugs outweigh humans and animals in general by some obscenely ridiculous ratio.
Fuk that as well.

Dent: that moth is a sphinx moth, also called a hummingbird moth, because they look and act just like hummingbirds when they fly and feed. Pretty cool.

While outside feeding the dogs on my lunch break, I nearly stepped on what people from this valley refer to as "Giant Water Beetles", because they come out in April and live in wet soil, grass or wet wood. Technically, they are a type of giant roach called an Oriental Roach, but don't infest homes or have the same diet as American roaches. They mainly live outside in the yard, but nonetheless still suck.
I even stuck a quarter in the pic for sizing, because this one is disgustingly huge.

The only insects that I am afraid of are hornets, wasps and most spiders.
Although I will not hesitate to smash any bug, the above three get special treatment.

You got a BLACK WIDOW living in your place? I would advise switching neighborhoods...

I've never seen a widow IN the house, thank Jebus - it was living under the outside sash beneath the AC. I see them on a regular basis clinging to shit around the yard. Last month I opened an exterior wooden tool shed (like a 4 foot by 2 foot box) and inside were 4 females (the big ones are chicks) and 3 males. I sprayed them with spider spray and the faggots survived. I then put on boots and gloves and went back out there with a sledgehammer and tore the shed down and burnt the pile.
I forbid my kids to go outside until I sprayed the entire foundation with high-grade Widow spray.

Where are you located? Street address preferable.

I ate a few cicadas last night, as the papers have been making much ado about the protein benefits of our surplus bugs. They tasted like asparagus, except with warm, squishy bug-gut goodness. Since I don't actually like asparagus, this will be my solo foray into the exciting world of insect cuisine.

Scorpion: Found on the floor of a Baja hotel (punta chivato). I did not leave my shoes on the floor after that, and scoured every inch of the room every night thereafter with flashlight.
Orb Weaver: Costa Rican Jungle trail. Wife's hand for size reference. Not a bad spider. Not fun to walk into though.

Man, I hate those things.
Sometimes they get in our house.
I always disinfect the area where I killed them and where I saw them run. Imagining all their germs crawling up my arm after I kill them really gets to me. 
I, too, am an insectipuss.

For the first moth:
Where are these d00ds located? All over the US?

Found this in the tub this morning, naked, as I was about to shower before work. As far as I can tell, it's fucking creepy. Sorry about the shitty quality, it's a cell phone pic.
Other than that, I think it's a Hobo, Funnel Weaver or a Parsons spider.
