I'm more inclined to get the camera if I don't know what it is. I knew the beetle's name and was pretty sure what genus the assassin bug is in, but I'm trying to get good pics of wasps and I was out there anyway. I usually don't bother with very common critters that already have a bunch of pics in bugfiles, unless it's a really good picture. I took one of an eastern tiger swallowtail that came out well and it turned out there were no pictures of the entire underside of one in BF, so I added it.

I'll take a picture of just about every moth, then ID them later. I can usually tell what family it's in but moth taxonomy is so arbitrary and confusing and is probably going to be entirely re-done soon.

Sorry, off-topic (no bloom on this one!) but ths bugger (poisonous) just about destroyed a small blueberry plant.
