Why Did I Think This Would Be a Good Idea?

I need to stop catching damselflies inches away from spiders. Two different species jump-scared me while I was handling bluets.

I know next to nothing about them, but I'm certain as long as they keep jumping out at me I'll rack up a decent spider list before the end of the year.

This is hilarious! Try to go to a more open area slowly if you can with the bluets with you.
