My daughter gave me a bug habitat. Hung it up right under my patio cover. Protected from wind & rain. Supposed to be for bees and wasps and other bugs to overwinter, and for the burrow species to lay eggs in. Took awhile but I finally had a taker. Had wondered who had sealed up a couple of the holes already.

#bugs for #FlickrFriday
These are firebugs. In Russia, we call them soldier-bugs. There are a lot of them in spring and summer, and while they may look threatening because of their bright-red colour, they are not really harmful. They do not bite humans or animals, nor do they damage the agricultural crops very much.
Also, while I was googling what they are called in English, I found out that when firebugs are in this position, they are, in fact, mating.
This tiny bug was sunning himself on a leaf when I saw him. Nothing special, just a bug in the sun.
HBW! Have a good one. It is raining and storming here today.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday everyone! Gonocerus acuteangulatus is a herbivorous species of true bug in the family Coreidae. It is commonly known as the Box Bug in the UK as it once only occurred in Box Hill in Surrey where it fed on box trees. Having expanded its range it now occurs widely in the south-east of England and beyond. It is exploiting different foodplants, and has been found on hawthorn, buckthorn, yew and plum trees. I most usually find it on Dog Roses, but on this occasion it was a bramble!
Driving on I-680 out of the Bay Area, I was completely seduced, sucked in, lured by the impossible greenness of the hills around me. The traffic was crawling along, so I ducked out of it at the next exit and, instead, tooled along this lovely road alongside verdant fields and happy California cows galore.
I noticed this strange almost cloud looking patches swooping by, and thought it must be my windows... maybe come strange distortion of the tinting... maybe my driving addled madness. Finally I realized, as I pulled to a startled stop, that it was bugs. Hundreds of bugs. Millions of bugs. Far. Too. Many. Bugs.
They hovered in clouds above this little road, with an imposing fence that didn't allow me to explore further, in an undulating line in the air. They were tiny gnat-like things, and they were Everywhere. Freaky. Maybe they were planning something. Keep an eye out...
We look for bugs, we study bugs, we read about bugs and we play with bugs. Childhood is such a gift.

A verrrrrrrrry, small bug...exploring a Gerbera Daisy Petal.
This is an interesting scene - we have both birch shieldbug (Elasmostethus interstinctus) nymphs being 'protected' by some adult parent bugs (Elasmucha grisea).
Bug! The Flickr Friday theme of Bug aligned in a rather odd way with this weekend's COVID car cruise, where local car enthusiasts drove through neighborhoods in their automobiles. I present my entry for Bugs!
The dirt bugs (not the scientific name) are one variety that I'd never seen before! They vary pretty much by the type of debris that they've attached to themselves. That is until I saw dirt bug #4!! It is like the "King Kong" of dirt bugs.
The first three are about 3-4mm in size. But dirt bug 4 drags around a slender tube with the debris attached to the outside of this 2 1/2cm tube!!
Los bichos suciedad (no el nombre cientÃfico) son una variedad que nunca habÃa visto antes! VarÃan bastante mucho por el tipo de escombros que han unido a ellos mismos. Es decir, hasta que vi suciedad bicho # 4! Es como el "King Kong" de bichos suciedad.
Los tres primeros son unos 3-4mm de tamaño. Pero bicho suciedad 4 arrastra alrededor de un tubo delgado, con los escombros unido al exterior de este tubo 2 1/2cm!
Bugs de sujeira (não o nome cientÃfico) é uma variedade que eu nunca tinha visto antes! Eles variam muito para o tipo de detritos que se juntaram a eles. Isto é, até que eu vi sujeira bug # 4! É como o "King Kong" bug sujeira.
Os três primeiros são de cerca de 3-4mm de tamanho. Mas bug sujidade 4 arrasta em torno de um tubo delgado com os escombros ligado para o exterior do tubo esta 2 1/2cm.

Feliz sabado Animal

Family : Scutelleridae; Leach‎, 1815‎

Scutelleridae is a family of true bugs. They are commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs due to their often brilliant coloration.
They are also known as shield-backed bugs due to the enlargement of the thoracic scutellum into a continuous shield over the abdomen and wings.

No idea what sort, but it was basking in the sun while I was watching countless bumble bees at work.

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles

You're buggin' what? You're buggin' who? You're buggin me
And don't you see it ain't cool...

OK, so that was the first thing I thought of when I looked at this photo.... I know, old song... but it popped into my head for some reason... =)
So, Flickr seems to be working better for me... I can see all thumbnails and nearly all photos. However, now I'm not feeling too well (I think it's the weather or something... has me feeling blah...) so, I'm probably not going to be online quite as much... and therefor, will probably be not very comment-y... =)
Anyway, I'd like to thank the following people for their super sweet testimonials....
and
Thank you all, sooo much!! =)
Please check them out!!! =)
