sorry about the piece of leaf? in front , is anyone able to identify this creature ?--it is on a rowan tree leaf
I thought these were kind of pretty until I looked them up and found out they wee related to the stink bug. Fortunately this was not taken at my house :)
None of the flies (or other insects) in my photos are frozen or dead. None have been manually 'posed'. All are photographed alive and well in their natural environment, unless they are being killed or eaten by another insect in the photo.
Ensign Scale Insect, possibly Orthezia urticae (Nettle Ensign Scale) or Newsteadia floccosa (Boreal Ensign Scale); visually it more closely resembles the former, though its habitat (amongst the moss at the base of a field maple tree) is more suggestive of the latter. One of several found at the same site. Monks Wood NNR, Sawtry, Cambridgeshire. October 6, 2020.
Quite a heavy crop, so beware of enlarging.
