The bug on top has its molted exoskeleton stuck on its body. It molted first: notice its darker brown coloration. Bug on bottom just recently molted: notice its paler, lighter coloration. Both bugs have blood from previous (5th instar nymph) stage still in their digestive tracts. Molting occurs when bug is physiologically ready. It doesn't have to totally digest its current blood meal first. Newly molted adult females may be able to produce eggs and mate before their first adult blood meal. 1/4 inch squares.
I found this mirid bug on the beach at St Cyrus. I think it's an adult male Leptopterna dolabrata, but I'm happy to be corrected (I know there's a similar species L. ferrugata).
Yesterday when I was watching TV, my kid came and told she wanted to show me something. Then she switched off all the lights and changed the TV channel to video mode and held this bugs bunny pillow. I was lucky to capture it immediately using the retro camera.
An attractive little rainforest resident with a bags of character. Unusually for insects some species of shield bugs brood their eggs and guard their young from predators, we don't know if this one does, but we did find him or her particularly engaging.

I have lived in Texas for forty years. I never saw an insect of this description. Let me know if you think you can identify the species.
Yeah, couldn't see but glimpses of the eclipse due to intermittent cloud cover, but we did see this enormous bug. And I got close enough to shoot it. I'm still shocked by that particular detail. ;)
Caught this little one yesterday morning, Cant resist a pic of the Lady Bug. Messing with Extension tubes and a ring flash..

The Volkswagen Bug is rarely seen these days. When I was young you could hardly go anywhere and not see one.

Its a Bugs Life.
I loved sitting watching these little House Sparrows jumping about the small bushes and plants taking every bug in their sight back to the nest for their young to eat! This particular Sparrow had a large wasp which it quickly scraped along the path and then flew off...
