In large bed bug infestations, bugs hide in corners after feeding, leaving behind their black fecal marks.

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. Pictured is Joellen Lampman of the New York State IPM Program. For more information: www.nysipm.cornell.edu/factsheets/buildings/tick_mgmt.pdf

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

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.

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).

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.
Bed Bugs don't just hide inside mattresses and box springs. They often take refuge inside furniture, in wall voids, on bed frames, inside fixtures and outlets, under baseboards, in carpet, in electronics, and many other places! Bed Beg treatments should be left to the professionals. You only have to miss one pregnant female to have the infestation come right back! If you look closely you can see white dots. Those are bed bug eggs. Each will hatch with 10-50 new bed bugs ready to start eating! www.scoutpestcontrol.com

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.

Garbage bags thrown on snow banks provide a food source for rodents. When bags are torn open, food is spilled and stays in the snow.

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.

Fireplace surrounds are still quite ornate today, but are cheaper and suitable in modern designs and surroundings. Purchasing a surround that fits in with your fireplace needs is invariable accessible. Always remember that what you need in your surround is more important that what you find more attractive.

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

I'd like to introduce the Black-Tailed Red Sheetweaver, or Florinda coccinea! It is the creatively named sole member of the genus Florinda, and a very common critter in the lush lawns of my region.
If any spider I've ever shown screams "DON'T TOUCH!", it's surely this sheetweaver. The saturated scarlet coloration is only broken by ebony black pedipalps and spinnerets, creating a cautionary tale from afar! Ironically enough though, these small spiders are entirely unequipped to attack any animals our size, and are functionally harmless to humans. To bugs, though...
These interesting arachnids are known for their intricate sheetweb, constructed under a complimentary cast of fly lines! The upper layer of silk knocks flying foes into the web, where they are promptly overcome by the red reaper below.
Life in my region would be waaaay different if humans were under an inch, that's for sure.
This shot was captured at 1:1.25 by my Vivitar (Komine) 90mm f2.8 Macro. This photo is uncropped. This frightening female is around 4mm long!

A yellowjacket queen started this nest inside my backyard beehive. I removed it and haven't seen the queen at all. We wonder what the bees thought of this!

Chinese Praying Mantis....I had such fun with this little lady, I moved her to the flower garden to get a better shot and she seemed pleased since she was surrounded by bees, and posed so nicely. These Mantises are noted for their adaptation to humans and are popular as pets. From the archives

Seasonal items tucked behind sheds will fill with water and provide mosquito habitat. Fight the bite, dump the water and store equipment in dry places! For more information about mosquito management, see: "What's all the buzz about mosquitoes?" at: hdl.handle.net/1813/43851
Culex pipiens, the most common mosquito around the home and around the world, is the primary carrier of encephalitis viruses. It has a very small home range and usually does not fly more than 300 feet from a breeding site. Because this mosquito breeds in small pools of standing water containing leaves or other debris, backyards can be the perfect habitat
(Megacopta cribraria) The kudzu bug is a pest of soybean and other legumes. Its primary host is the invasive vine, kudzu, which was introduced to the US in 1876 for control of soil erosion.
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 (in the top section) 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). The layers are kept separate by little pillars called Petioles.
