July 15, 2022

I am an Aplos simplex nymph
When I grow up, I will be brown
But for now, I'm green with orange stripes
And a head that's distinctively round.

Special thanks to today's very special guest photographer, Kim O'Malley. Kim found this Aplos simplex in MA, but they can also be found throughout the eastern US, including Florida.

Location: Private residence, Attleboro,  Mass
