A Green Bottle Fly and the tiniest ant I can imagine seemed to circle each other on the Black-eyed Susan in my garden.
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.
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.

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
Obviously a shield bug, I think it's a Carpocoris purpureipennis. There seem to be more of them this year than usual. I don't think that I just didn't noticed them in previous years because with their vibrant colours they are hard to overlook, especially if you crawl over meadows in search of possible photo subjects. The pretty fellow is considered as an agricultural pest because he can damage soybean, beans, cabbage, carrots, raspberries, strawberries, potatoes, radish, wheat and apple trees. This information would have dampened my enthusiasm if I had found him and his numerous relatives in my garden but he lives on a meadow outside town and therefore isn't my problem.
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.

NB: not captive, seen on an exterior wall.
White-fringed weevils are native to southern South America.
I learned that they are invasive here in Australia, now pests of agricultural crops.
Adults feed on the foliage of hundreds of plant species. Larvae feed on roots and their damage is more serious, especially on crops or young pines in plantations and nurseries.

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.
Aphid
Seen during a brief walk in the garden today.
Apologies in advance if I get a bit behind today, I will be having a nap shortly.
View from the Citadel with on left side Boeda and on the right Pest. The city is split in half by the Donau. Boeda is on the hill and captures a lot of historic sight to see and Pest is flat also with a lot of historic features but there are also very trendy bars,restaurants and shops. They even have their on kind of Champs Elysee :-)

...The youngling flapped angrily in protest as the hunter emerged from the cave, hoping its futile attempts at escape would work.
A guard yells over hopefully "Is that all of them?"....
The hunter pauses, smirks and replies "No. If you want the entire nest removed that will be extra gold."

This fly landed on the rail of our cruise ship while I was watching the sunset at sea. For this photo, it put its pest foot forward :)

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.

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.

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!
