Female praying mantis' create an egg case or ootheca in the fall that they deposit on woody foliage. In the spring, when temperatures are warm, dozens of praying mantis nymphs emerge from the egg case and look for food. Though originally hatched indoors, these insects were released outdoors on a warm, sunny day.
Honey bees returning from early spring foraging at an upstate NY environmental education center. There is not much blooming, so it is unclear where the pollen is coming from.

Baldfaced hornets (Dolichovespula maculata) are actually large yellowjackets. They are important natural predators, but can pose a health risk when found near human activity. Early-season scouting and removal of small nests can prevent problems with large hornet populations later in the year. This is the best way to protect yourself and others around your home, school or office from painful and/or dangerous stings.

Common Wasp (Vespula vulgaris).
Wasp nest removed from a bird box, photographed a couple of days after it was treated by pest control as the wasps were causing a nuisance on school grounds.
The nest contained the queen wasp and many workers including all stages of development from eggs through larvae to adults about to emerge from their papery cells. Some of the larvae were still alive.
Here you can see the layered comb structure of the nest which is constructed of wood pulp and saliva which the wasps have made by chewing on wooden objects (they can't make wax in the way that bees do).

Walkway along the pleasant green space between Broad Lane and Ashmount Road, N15. Most of the time it's reasonably well looked after by Haringey Parks Service.
Though not on 27 September 2007. I reported the litter and rats I saw in the bushes.

This evening I walked past the same spot near Broad Lane N15, which I photographed on 27 September. Unfortunately the same litter-bin was again overflowing - and with an even larger pile spilled on the ground around it.
Passers-by are trying to dispose of their litter in a responsible way - using the bin. There's just too much of it. Which is not really surprising. This is one of the main routes serving the transport hub of Seven Sisters.
Can we see which bins near Seven Sisters Station get filled to overflowing? Then provide more bins or empty existing bins more frequently? I realise there's a cost involved. But so is there when the street cleaner has to sweep-up mess. Meanwhile, discarded waste feeds the rats nearby.

Norway rat adults measure approximately 16 inches (41 cm) from nose to tail and weigh about 12 ounces (340 g).

In large bed bug infestations, fecal stains become thick and black on mattresses. The white objects in this picture are bed bug eggs. For more information about bed bug biology and control visit our page: nysipm.cornell.edu/whats-bugging-you/bed-bugs

Spider beetles are stored product or fabric pests that are small (3/16 inch), reddish-brown in color, and have an oval-shaped body and long, thin hairy legs, giving them the appearance of spiders. They are scavengers that feed on dried animal and plant material.

As beetle larvae tunnel through the wood of a tree, they push sawdust-like material, called frass, from the opening. This can be seen on the branches, bark and ground below the tree. For more information: asianlonghornedbeetle.com/spot-it/
Cellophane bees are pollinators active in early spring. Each female makes a burrow in sandy or bare soil, and will provide her egg with a pollen ball. These bees are generally harmless, but you can discourage them from nesting in an area by overseeding with grass or adding a groundcover planting.
(Halyomorpha halys) BMSB has dispersed throughout the US, and feeds on a number of agricultural and ornamental plants. For more information: www.stopbmsb.org/where-is-bmsb/host-plants/

Greese can be a problem in newly planted corn, wheat, barley, triticale and soybean fields. If the seed is not planted deep enough they can pick it out of the soil. Ken Wise

I saw a pair of these being used to scare pigeons away from St Paul's Cathedral. I think it's a Harris Hawk.

Citronella ants carefully tend root aphids. Why do they do this? Root aphids feed on sugary sap of the roots of trees and shrubs and excrete (poop) sugar! Learn more about these ants from our friends at Penn State at: ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/citronella-ants
Very interesting to watch the attack unfold. The ladybug larva would move down the stem toward the group of aphids and one or two aphids would move out and actually attack (?) the lady bug larva and force it back up the stem. However, when the chance presented itself, the ladybug larvae would strike out and catch the aphid from behind and after that it was meal time for the lady bug larva.
For those who like a bit of gore, here is a link to the July 2006 blog that I just updated. Lady bug larva versus the red aphid - Let the attack begin!.

Two carpenter bees observed in the same nest. Could they be communicating with oral secretions, or fighting for position?
The Eastern Carpenter Bee is a spring pollinator, but is also classified as a wood-destroying insect. Female carpenter bees excavate round tunnels in wood. In human structures, carpenter bee nests are built in siding, soffits, fascia, and other exposed lumber. Because next generation bees may return to the same site where they were born, tunnels can be expanded over time and reduce the structural integrity of lumber. Woodpeckers can exacerbate damage by extracting bee larvae from wood structures through pecking.
Note that carpenter bees have a shiny abdomen compared to the hairy abdomen of similar-looking bumble bees. Male carpenter bees have a yellow spot on their face, will buzz and dive-bomb people near nest sites, but cannot sting. Female bees have an all black face, but are reluctant to sting.

Tick drags with a weighted piece of felt or flannel can be used to monitor for ticks. After walking through an area with the tick drag in direct contact with vegetation, the number, identity and life stage of ticks on the drag cloth are counted.

Paper wasps can build their umbrella comb nests under any protected ledge or overhang. Although they are beneficial predators, paper wasps can deliver a painful sting.

Not for the faint of heart! A mouse carcass quickly attracts scavengers, including blue bottle flies and carpenter ants. Nothing in nature is wasted. Interestingly, the ants were more aggressive and chased away the flies.

Birdsfoot trefoil — a common perennial weed that reproduces by seeds, stolons, and rhizomes. Stems are prostrate, resembling clover, but leaves are in twos. Flowers are bright yellow and pea-like. Fruits are in pods arranged in the form of a bird's foot. For more information, visit turfweeds.cals.cornell.edu/plant/identify/476.
Large crabgrass. Digitaria sanguinalis - whole plant. For more information on identification and control, visit turfweeds.cals.cornell.edu/plant/identify/265.
German cockroaches can be common and numerous in kitchens, as they are easily transported into facilities in deliveries. These have made a home inside and beneath a rodent repeat-catcher that has not been serviced recently. For more information about German cockroach biology and control, see: hdl.handle.net/1813/43831
