The Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and was first detected in Pennsylvania in September 2014. Spotted lanternfly feeds on a wide range of fruit, ornamental and woody trees, with tree-of-heaven being one of the preferred hosts. Spotted lanternflies are invasive and can be spread long distances by people who move infested material or items containing egg masses. If allowed to spread in the United States, this pest could seriously impact the country’s grape, orchard, and logging industries.

Note: It's a PEST, so that you're supposed to destroy it when see them. I found this in my son's vegetable garden. They see quite a few a day.

Cotton bush weed growing at Oxley Creek Common, Brisbane. A pest, but certainly interesting to see.

This Robin was catching insects on my rose bush, as it is feeding it's young in next door's garden. Taken this morning through the window.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

So many pests on out Hibiscus flowers.

European Starlings are an invasive, considered to be a pest in some parts of the US. Even so, I think that they are quite beautiful.

Quite of few of these pests around now. Hopefully the Ladybirds will arrive soon.

Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!

This is really a tiny insect, the Pea Weevil which is a pest to pea and bean plants. I am not sure if it is of the Lady Mantle plant which it is on! I think it is on the leaf, as you can see, to access the plenty of water drops to drink from!

Mr. Fly,in the way.

Super Sized Blow Fly.

Invasive Destructive Pest - Spotted Lantern Fly Nymph. These insects have caused severe damage to trees and fruit orchards, yet booths nymph and the adult are quite beautiful.

UItzicht vanaf Vissersbastion (Halászbástya) over de Donau op Pest gedeelte van Boedapest

Pest is een van de drie steden waaruit de Hongaarse hoofdstad Boedapest ontstond. Het is het grootste, grotendeels vlakke gedeelte van de hoofdstad dat op de linkeroever (oostoever) van de Donau ligt.

Pest beslaat met zijn 352 km² ongeveer twee derde van het grondgebied van de hoofdstad. De Donau scheidt het stadsdeel van Boeda en Óbuda, de andere twee delen van Boedapest, waarmee het in 1873 werd verenigd. Informeel wordt de naam Pest vaak ook gebruikt om heel Boedapest aan te duiden.

In Pest bevinden zich onder meer het zakelijke hart van de stad, het Parlementsgebouw met de verschillende ministeries en het Stadspark met het Heldenplein (Hősök tere). Ook de meeste industrie bevindt zich in Pest.

View from Fisherman's Bastion (Halászbástya) across the Danube on Pest part of Budapest

Pest is one of the three cities that created the Hungarian capital Budapest. It is the largest, largely flat, part of the capital that lies on the left bank (east bank) of the Danube.

With its 352 km², Pest covers approximately two thirds of the capital's territory. The Danube divides the district from Buda and Óbuda, the other two parts of Budapest, with which it was united in 1873. Informally, the name Pest is often used to indicate the whole of Budapest.

Pest is home to the business heart of the city, the Parliament building with the various ministries and the City Park with the Heroes' Square (Hősök tere). Most industry is also located in Pest.

Four-Lined Plant Bugs are considered to be pests, since they occasionally do damage to herbaceous plants, mints, and rarely to wood. The nymphs cause the majority of plant damage.

Happy Window Wednesday Folks

Gioia è la nostra piccola peste, ha avuto un'infanzia difficile e ora combatte contro il mondo intero. Ma noi le vogliamo bene lo stesso, anzi forse di più!

Gioia is our little pest, she has had a difficult childhood and now she fights against the whole world. But we love it all the same, or maybe even more!

Downsview Park, Toronto

A few days in Budapest to see one of my favourite bands. Not the best time to visit photography-wise though. Was hoping desperately for some really calm conditions to get a decent reflection in the water. However, the constant flow of boats on the river, made this near impossible.

A lovely city though and hope to get back there in the future
