>>4055898I don't know much about the pacific northwest vs other areas, but any area with a body of fresh water nearby is a nearly sure bet for bug life. The types of bugs you find will vary greatly depending on location and time, though. A creek in the woods is likely to have damselflies, while a field will have dragonflies and grasshoppers. If you have any botanical gardens nearby, those tend to have many butterflies, bees, and mantises. Wolf spiders tend to be more active in the evening, and when it is dark enough, they can be found by shining a flashlight at the ground and looking for their highly reflective eyes. If you have a specific type of bug you'd like to get a picture of, read up on what it eats and when it is active and pick a location accordingly.
