But don’t worry – even if your photo isn’t worthy of a National Geographic cover, it might be the perfect candidate for the “Crap Wildlife Photography” Facebook group.

Both amateur and professional photographers are submitting their unsuccessful wildlife photos to this Facebook group, and they’re so bad, they’re hilarious. From angry squirrels to overly-curious fireflies, check out the funniest submissions to the “Crap Wildlife Photography” Facebook group in the gallery below!
