I found this bug in my yard and took it's picture before I put it back in the dirt. I didn't squish it, even though I think it's a queen ant, because I figure if they're outside it's not really fair to squish them since that's where ants are supposed to be.

Also known as the Assassin Bug. Found it outside our lanai door this morning. This deadly insect preditor is great to have around the house but don't get bit. Bite can be very nasty to humans. Wheel Bug is slow moving, not agressive, and will only bite if mishandled. :)
This bug looked like a white, fuzzy/pointy, caterpillar-ish thing when it was captured. It was definitely insect-like in its legs; but it had little branch-y things poking out all over it.
But, I left it alone and had dinner before beginning to shoot. And when I came back to it after dinner, it had become a green bug with wings. Note that the earlier ones the wings are opaque and then become clear as it dries.
What bug is this? In swedish it's called Bärfis (berry fart). Don't know why...maybe it farts on berries???
Today I've been on a bug safari in a short space of hedgerow being my house. So much to see if you look. So many quick moving spiders, and I felt compelled to tuck my jeans into my socks, just in case.
Reupload of this bug shot with the contrast and brightness pushed just a bit more to get a purer white background for the whiteground group . . .
These bugs that look like ladybugs but are much meaner were swarming everywhere, meaning our trip was cut short.
