This adorable little guy is Zelus, probably Zelus luridus, and although they're skittish and difficult to photograph as adults, this one is a nymph and has no wings (this is the form in which the species overwinters), so he can't fly away. I found him on a branch, then he strolled nonchalantly onto my arm, so here he is! I'm not that hairy, so you can see how small he is. I just love their little "L-shaped" feet! :)
These bugs that look like ladybugs but are much meaner were swarming everywhere, meaning our trip was cut short.

I presume one of the large family of shield bugs by it's shape.
Not a great image but that was the best I could do in the circumstances.

Another bug shot from the other day which I had forgotten about! Not sure what it is, some sort of shield bug I think. The sun was shining brightly and was reflecting off his back making him look multicoloured! Thanks to Lady BH for the ID! This one is an early instar.

Some bug shots from a visit to highdown gardens Worthing. First time I've knowingly seen a robber fly. I just do not get them in my garden. Unfortunately taken in strong natural light
A local antique shop always has an interesting window display around Halloween. Unfortunately, none of it for sale.
This funky bug, which my brother says is a dobson fly, I believe, was there to greet us, clinging to the outside of a screen in the cabin's living room.
A really patient bug from the backyard, it´s been in the same branch for days. It´s pretty small, about 15 mm and is kind of smelly: it gives an ugly smell if you disturb it. That´s kind of a surprise since all the smelly bugs I have seen before are plain brown instead of yellow, maybe it's a matter of gender or this is a completely different specie
Milkweed bugs are usually found in groups on milkweed plants , often on the underside of the leaves. The plant produces a milky white sap when a leaf is removed. These plants are large (3-4 feet high) with sprays of small white flowers in the summer. In the fall , seed pods develop which are 4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. When the seeds ripen, the seed pods open up releasing the seeds which float on fluffy white parasols. Milkweed bugs can be found on seed pods piercing the wall of the pod to feed on seeds. Milkweed bugs are one of a small group of insects that have the ability to tolerate the toxic (poisonous) compounds in the milkweed plant. They are therefore important in regulating populations of this plant.

Box and the Bug in the yard. I'm amused that the Bug is (even lowered) nearly as tall as Box, longer than Box, and not that much smaller overall.
The bug is sold and the guy buying it is supposed to come pay it off and pick it up tomorrow. Wanted to get some last shots before it goes away.
