uno dei tanti esemplari di Oedemeridae che ho incontrato nei prati durante un "safari" fotografico sulle alture di Vado Ligure.
Difficile da identificare, ce ne sono tantissime specie !

I found these guys at the end of one of the more private dead end trails at the garden. I didn't see the three rocks that lovers usually stack up to signal their presence, but that was likely due to the fact that their rock stack was simply too small to notice.
Note:
I posted this image to BugGuide, so I'll update the posting when/if the ID is confirmed by folks who really know their bugs.

Photography information: All of the images in this database were captured with the Macropod.
The Macropod is a rigid, portable photomacrography system, which allows the user to make razor sharp, fully focused photographs of small sized specimens at 18 to 26-megapixel resolution. It overcomes the extreme Depth of Field (DOF) limitations inherent in optics designed to image smaller specimens. Normally, lenses designed for macro will only render a very small fraction of the depth of targeted specimen in sharp focus at any one exposure. The Macropod allows the user to select and make multiple exposures in precise increments along the Z-axis (depth) such that each exposure’s area of sharp focus overlaps with the previous and next exposure. These source images are then transferred to a computer and merged by an image-stacking program. Zerene Stacker is used to find and stitch together only the focused pixels from each exposure into one image. The Macropod integrates industry-leading components in a novel and elegant way to achieve these results.

Coreid Bug, Euthochtha galeator (Fabricious); Insecta: Hemiptera: Coreidae, captured in Dehu, Pune, Maharashtra, India.

Clade:Euarthropoda
Class:Insecta
Order:Lepidoptera
Family:Pterophoridae
Genus:Emmelina
Species:E. monodactyla
Binomial name
Emmelina monodactyla
Wingspan 18-27 mm.
One of the commonest of the 'Plume' moths all over Ireland, and one of the few to be found in the early part of the year, as the adults occur in all months.
Like most of the Pterophoridae, the wings are cleft or divided, but this can be difficult to see, as the moth often rests with the wings rolled up tightly. The wing colour is usually pale brownish, but can be darker. Each pair of spurs on the hind legs has one spur longer than the other. The abdomen has a pale buff dorsal longitudinal band with brown streaks along the midline.
It occurs in any suitable habitat where the larval foodplants, bindweeds (Convolvulus and Calystegia spp.), occur. Larvae have also been reported occasionally on Morning glory (Ipomoea), Chenopodium spp. and Atriplex spp. They feed in two overlapping generations on leaves and flowers from late May to September.
The larvae are greenish yellow with a broad green dorsal band, which has a fine discontinuous yellow line along its centre. The dorsal pinacula can be black, or coloured the same as the adjacent integument. Some specimens have ruby red dorsal markings.
The pupa varies from green to reddish, sometimes with black markings.

Les Thaumatomyia sont de toutes petites mouches d’environ 2 mm, à dominante jaune et noire. On en recense huit espèces en France, et 42 dans le monde. En automne, des millions d’individus peuvent parfois envahir les murs des habitations.
La durée de vie moyenne d’un adulte est d’environ 45 jours. La femelle pond de petits œufs ovales jaune pâle. La larve qui en sort au bout de 4 à 5 jours est d’abord jaune translucide avant de devenir verdâtre. Durant son développement, qui dure en moyenne 16 jours, elle consomme une grande quantité (plus d’une centaine) de pucerons des racines (Pemphigus bursarius), ce qui a conduit à envisager de l’attirer vers les cultures maraîchères. Elle s’immobilise ensuite pour se transformer en pupe (c’est à cet état qu’elle hiverne), d’où émergera l’adulte 11 à 14 jours plus tard si les conditions sont favorables (ce délai peut atteindre une quarantaine de jours dans le cas contraire). L’adulte se nourrit essentiellement de pollen et de nectar. Des expérimentations ont montré que le pollen avait une incidence significative sur la reproduction et la fécondité des Thaumatomyia.
Leurs principaux prédateurs sont les petits oiseaux, les petits reptiles, les amphibiens et les araignées.
Thaumatomyia are very small flies of about 2 mm, predominantly yellow and black. There are eight species in France, and 42 in the world. In autumn, millions of individuals can sometimes invade the walls of homes.
The average lifespan of an adult is about 45 days. The female lays small, pale yellow oval eggs. The larva that emerges after 4 to 5 days is first translucent yellow before becoming greenish. During its development, which lasts an average of 16 days, it consumes a large quantity (more than a hundred) of root aphids (Pemphigus bursarius), which has led to the idea of attracting it to vegetable crops. It then stops to turn into a pupa (it is in this state that it winters), from which the adult will emerge 11 to 14 days later if the conditions are favorable (this period can reach about forty days in the opposite case). The adult feeds mainly on pollen and nectar. Experiments have shown that pollen has a significant impact on the reproduction and fertility of Thaumatomyia.
Their main predators are small birds, small reptiles, amphibians and spiders.
