The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is a planthopper indigenous to parts of China and Vietnam. It has spread invasively to Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Its preferred host is tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), but it infests economically significant plants including soybean, grapes, stone fruits, and Malus spp.
The species was accidentally introduced into South Korea in 2006 and Japan in 2009, and has since been considered a pest. In September 2014, L. delicatula was first recorded in the United States, and as of 2022, it is an invasive species in much of Northeastern United States and is rapidly spreading south and west.[4] L. delicatula's egg masses have been found to be the primary vector of spread, with Ailanthus altissima populations seen as a risk factor for further infestation globally. Ongoing pest control efforts have sought to limit population growth, due to the threat L. delicatula poses to global agricultural industries.
Note: I have seen many immature lantern-fly in my garden, you're supposed to smash them when noticing. Not much success as they flew away as soon as you approached them, unless they were on the ground, then, you might be able to smash them at once.
On a street near our apartment in Pest. And thanks to Endre Savari (on Flickr), I now know what it is:
The two-figure sculptural composition is meant to depict the theatre/the play, and is actually an inverted image of Hamlet, with the death-head figure holding the artist’s head in his hand. The head depicts Géza Hofi, who was a Hungarian actor, singer and the greatest humourist in Hungary. He died in 2002 and this public statue was created in his honour.
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.
There’s a frog hanging out in my cucumber wall, hopefully ridding it of pests. I asked it to please leave the bee’s be.
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.

A wild buffalo with a couple of jungle mynas on her body. The mynas feed on ticks and other pests that hide in the buffalo's hair, so it's a symbiotic relationship.
In this instance, though the mynas were on her back most of the time, I managed to capture this instance when one of them almost landed on the buffalo's nose.
It is a bird in the honeyeater family, and endemic to Australia. It is grey, with a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, a distinctive yellow patch behind the eye and white tips on the tail feathers. It's a vocal species with a large range of songs, calls, scoldings and alarms, and almost constant vocalisations. They are gregarious and territorial; they forage, bathe, roost, breed and defend territory communally.
The noisy miner is a large honeyeater, 24–28 centimetres (9.4–11.0 in) in length, with a wingspan of 36–45 centimetres (14–18 in), and weighing 70–80 grams (2.5–2.8 oz). Male, female and juvenile birds all have similar plumage: grey on the back, tail and breast, and otherwise white underneath, with white scalloping on the nape and hind-neck, and on the breast; off-white forehead and lores; a black band over the crown, bright orange-yellow bill, and a distinctive patch of yellow skin behind the eye; a prominent white tip to the tail; a narrow olive-yellow panel in the folded wing; and orange-yellow legs and feet. A juvenile can be distinguished by softer plumage, a brownish tinge to the black on its head and the grey on its back, and a duller, greyish-yellow skin-patch behind the eye.
The noisy miner is a gregarious species, and the birds are rarely seen singly or in twos; they forage, move and roost in colonies that can consist of several hundred birds
The noisy miner does not use a stereotyped courtship display; displays can involve 'driving', where the male jumps or flies at the female from 1–2 metres (3.3–6.6 ft) away, and if she moves away he pursues her aggressively.
The noisy miner primarily eats nectar, fruit, and insects, and occasionally it feeds on small reptiles or amphibians.

Blue Green Aphid (Acyrthosiphon kondoi)
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!
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.
And yes I did destroy this one after photographing it.

First she was the voice of the people, now she feeds them DARLING!
"What a resounding success this charitable endeavour has and continues to be, feeding the mouths of those impoverished masses affected by our dwindling economy. Call me Philanthropena Pest, darling. Doing what our politicians won't do. Just don't ask me what's in the ingredients, darling, because it's a secret. *smoky laugh!*
Come one, come all, darling! You don't need to bring anything (although a camera always helps)! All publicity is good publicity, unless it's really bad publicity in which case, this stand was made possible by Saffron Macauley's money, darling. Mwah!
Most of the older farm houses had gourd birdhouses hung around them to attract Purple Martins which are supposed to help with mosquito control.
This image started out and went in a new direction for me! I have always admired these drawing-like looks, but didn't know how to accomplish them. This one came on my computer with complete serendipity. I wasn't even trying to accomplish this - I just wanted to make a very bland photo interesting and usable. I would welcome any instruction from those who know how to achieve this look in a more orderly & predictable fashion than I went through.

Painted this wall with servo, limit and asesr. Those guys came out from canada, super nice guys had a blast. Sadly limit got to wasted and didn't finish his piece so I will have to post his later.
Personalmente me gustan mas con una salsa al pesto con un poquito de pimienta de cayena (que le da un saborcito picantito). abundante queso sardo o provolene y unos tomatitos cherry como guarnición.
pruébenlos! y me dicen.

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.
