World Photo Day

Hey everyone! Today is World Photo Day, according to holidayscalendar.com so let's give it up for the iNaturalists all over who are taking photos all the time to support science.
What was your latest observation? Mine was a green lacewing that I saw while eating dinner. It was on my window, like some flies and other similar creatures that come there. Something I'm wondering about.
But what was your probably-best photo or most spectacular observation? Share that, too. Looking through all my observations, which I'm adding here, a cabbage white which some delightfully helpful naturalist told me was mating. And a gray bird grasshopper juvenile, a shot that I think was one of my best. I can also see it as it was very close up and recent. I saw the adult in my yard for a while, and saw a bunch of these on my pepper plant. And I can see these in the yard sometimes. I hope I'll find adults again as they grow up...and lay eggs again...
My most spectacular, though? Has to be an urbane digger bee that keeps coming to visit me. What a magical bee when I thought there was only one species I could see in my backyard.
I want to hear what YOURS are on this World Photo Day.
And I want to hear from iNaturalists who DO NOT use photos, what it's like and how they do it.
Happy World Photo Day, friends!
