Figured I'd join jciv in Friday Fly Day with my orange fly here. He was doing something with his proboscis that looked kind of vacuum-cleaner-y. I don't often see orange flies.
This is another bug I spotted in the Jungles of Cambodia and capture with the macro focus feature of my camera. This bug has amazing colors.
I've never seen a bug like this before - his head looked like a little, bright red, round pinhead, and he had four tiny things on his back that looked like pom poms, lots of legs, pipe cleaner-like feeler things in the front and back, and little spiky hairs all over. He was crawling on a box of sparklers on my porch at our fourth of July cookout.
edit: according to mscaprikell, he is an Orgyia leucostigma, or White-marked Tussock Moth caterpillar.
Hyoooj moth on the certificates board overnight. The balcony is painted white, and has night lights, so the morning brings a menagerie. This one's prettier than the stag beetles, which make good footballs.
Order: Hemiptera (True Bugs, Aphids, Cicadas, Whiteflies, Hoppers, Scale Insects, and Mealybugs).
Size: 4-7mm
Range: British Columbia and southeastern Canada, throughout the United States, and into Mexico.
Description: Active from spring through fall in gardens, parks, and fields. They feed on a wide variety of plants - including columbines, grapes, potatoes, and raspberries - but are seldom considered pests.
Dunno what this guy is, or was....
Not sure if he's dead or alive...
Saw him through the window, then went out to snap a few shots...
He kind of looks like a moth that mated with a teeny tiny bunny rabbit... all furry and whatnot, lol!
It was a fairly overcast morning (common at this location) so initially I stayed near the lodge after breakfast.
This was quite a colourful bug. Any help with ID would be welcome.
In this room the dance floor, smoothie stock cellar, smoothie barrel 1 and 2 should be equiped because it says they are and that is how it was before the bug. They do not show so this is the best I could do.
Not sure what this guy is, thought it was a mosquito at first, but I think perhaps some kind of fly. Any suggestions?
This is a True Katydid, Pterophylla camellifolia. I'm probably too picky, but the true katydid posted is actually a MALE. Males of some katydids have elaborate subgenital plates that resemble a female's ovipositor, so it is really easy to make that mistake. The stridulatory area on the front wings (the brown triangle at the top of the insect in the nice photo) confirms that it is a male. Females do not have modifications of the front wings. Just keepin' you on your toes
