beetle, not exactly sure what kind

New Romney Reserve

Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae

No need to go to the Amazonas to find colorfull insects... they can be found in my backyard.

reference: bugguide.net/node/view/2970

BC: Labidomera clivicollis (Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae). Another orange- red-black insect on Milkweed.

Gele Tijger (Spilosoma lutea)

Carpocoris sp. - Pentatomidae

Larve

He was the exact color of the leaves. The only reason I saw him was I was watering the bushes and he didn't like it. When he moved out of the way I saw him.

Saint-Tulle, France

Macro of Assassin Bug.

Hoverfly on ornamental fir tree- Think it's a Eupeodes sp.

Crane fly, mosquito hawk, mosquito eater and other given misnomers. They don't eat mosquitoes, or anything else as the adult stage is for breeding only. The larvae get roots and can be pests. With more than 4200 species I have no idea which this is.

This guy was tough to shoot on the floor.

A herd of ladybirds at the local watering hole. Taken with a CloseUp4+ filter. No ladybirds were hurt during the photo shoot.

Small hoverfly looking for aphids to lay it's eggs near. This one seemed to be tasting the leaf with it's proboscis. It then laid an egg on the underside of a leaf

Found this large red damselfly in the grass by the side of the neighbour's pond. Suspect it was suffering from the cold and perhaps old age.Natural light, focus stacked using zerenestacker

Chrysomelidae, a leaf eating beetle.

Nomada bee on my finger. Focus stacked using zerene stacker

never seen this little bug before. Thought it was an extra large ant when I first spotted it, then thought it was a flightless wasp but then I spotted it's proboscis. very fast mover unlike most plant bugs. Body length about 5mm.

Id'd as Myrmecoris gracilis - a predator often on ant broods (but not the adults)

i could actually hear him munch which was pretty cool
