Raindrops are starting to be precious...

The bug.

Everyone knows bugs are indestructible...I mean they can even thrive in Atomic Bomb testing sites. War needs solders who can be happy eating cat poop...

Yes it is just a bug, but I like the composition a lot

Tectocoris diophthalmus, commonly known as the Hibiscus Harlequin Bug or Cotton Harlequin Bug, is a brightly coloured convex and rounded shield-shaped bug with a metallic sheen that grows to about 20 mm. Adult females are mostly orange and males are both blue and red or orange. The colours are quite variable. It lives in Northern and Eastern Australia, New Guinea and several Pacific Islands in habitats ranging from urban to agricultural and coastal areas.

The Hibiscus Harlequin Bugs feed on many species of the Hibiscus family (Malvaceae), as well as cultivated cotton. They will also eat Illawarra flame tree flowers, grevillea and bottlebrush saplings.

They are also known as "stink bugs" as they have scent glands which produce a bad smell which, when it is emitted by one bug, triggers others in the group, multiplying the bad smell.

Aptly named, it is a large bug, and it eats milkweed. Taken at the NC Arboretum in Asheville.

Striped bugs having a concert.

I'm not sure what this guy is-- he resembles a milkweed bug but I'm pretty sure he's not. [edit: subject looks like Lopidea, possibly L. instabilis, and the bomber is perhaps some sort of Lygus bug] At the time I took the photo I didn't notice the other unidentified critter hiding in the old bloom. The flower is from culinary sage. Glendale, Missouri

The red bug was careless, it didn't notice the spider in time and it was running through the spider's back. The spider was angry, but it didn't want to catch the red bug :-)

Or maybe it wanted just scare the spider! ;-)

Spotted in the fields beyond Captains Wood on my walk this morning.

I managed to capture this image of a small brown thornbill yesterday.

It had been successfully busy catching bugs - it has quite a mouthful!!

Hope you like this.

Please comment, view or add to favorites, this or any of my other images - much appreciated!!

Hope you have a fantastic day and week!
