They feed on plants in the Urticaceae (nettle) and Lamiaceae (mint) families. These bugs are somewhat unusual in that they exhibit brooding behavior. The female deposits eggs, about 120–150, in shallow burrows and watches over them. After the young hatch, the mother will bring food to them in the burrow for 1–3 days, after which the young will leave and forage on their own.
Grypocoris stysi
A conspicuous bug found widely throughout the UK. Pretty awesome to see these little guys with a macro lens.

A tiny silhouette, like a traveler atop a vast world, guided by a single glimmer. Was it the sunset it sought—or simply a moment of peace… just like us, sometimes?

Hier habe ich durch Zufall zwei Hauhechel-Bläulinge bei der Paarung entdeckt und musste natürlich dies in einem Bild feste halten. 😇📷❤
This was taken 24 hours after the previous photo I posted, of just the unhatched eggs. The baby earwigs are almost transparent, except for their compound eyes and their mandibles. Why are those structures pigmented? My guess is, if you think about it, a transparent eye can't trap light, so to be useful it needs pigment. As for mandibles, they need to be tough enough to bite food (one here is already nibbling its empty eggshell) and melanin hardens (sclerotizes) them. By the way, if you zoom in you can see mandibles and eyes showing through in the still-unhatched eggs.
Diesmal wieder ein Makro Foto 😀📷💯
Hier noch einmal die wunderschöne Vierflecklibelle die ich knipsen durfte 😊
