A nice surprise to find at John Heinz NWR, after a disappointing morning of birding. Unfortunately, I did not have my macro lens with me.

Yesterday I was just taking pictures of jasmine/beli flowers, after a while this little fly came and sat on top of the flowers and I was happy to see it !!😊

 

And that fly gave an another look and story of this photo!!

 

Love photography....

A good look at this caterpillars head. Notice the small "beady" eye.

Eacles imperialis.

Imperial moths (their many regional morphs, subspecies, and sibling species) range from Argentina to Canada and from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Coast.

The wingspan of an adult is between 80 and 175 mm (3+1⁄8 and 6+7⁄8 inches). There is a high amount of variation within this species. The colors of the adult are always primarily yellow with red, brown, and purple blotches.

Found hundreds of these while hiding at Red Rock Canyon Adventure Park in Hinton, OK

Know the enemy: They have changed their appearance! The fourth and final moult before emerging as the egg-laying, winged adult. They are now red with black and white spots.

Harlequin bugs are true bugs with sucking and piercing mouth parts and are a common sight in this location. Singularly, or in large groupings, which is quite a sight to behold given the beautiful colours and patterns.

 

Native to the east of this country. They feed on many species belonging to the family Malvaceae, including hibiscus species and cotton. The males and females are different colours, with the females mostly orange and the males mostly blue/green-red.
