The wheel bug, Arilus cristatus (Linnaeus) or assassing bug is a scary but beneficial bug that preys on pest insects. However, its bite can be more severe than a bee sting, and both nymphs and adults should be avoided or handled with caution. (It looks like a killing machine)

 

Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment so I can visit your photos, too... very much appreciated! Have a great day!

I just bought myself a Surface Pro 4 and tried tethered macro photography for the first time.

 

These aphids on the underside of an ornamental plant were all the wildlife I could find in our garden. In all seventeen images under artificial light, focus stacked using Helicon Focus 6. Hopefully I can find something more exotic as it gets warmer.

Pitcher plants... meat eaters

These plants can grow in the Pacific Northwest, just give them a 'swampy habitat' and light so the flies and bugs see them and are attracted....and pang.... they will be eaten!

happy thursday from bug! 😸

Spined soldier bug (member of the stink bug family) sucking the life out of a black swallowtail caterpillar. This event took place on a dill plant that the caterpillar was feasting on.

Time sneaks up on you like a windshield on a bug.

Looking straight up a wall mounted glass display case at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, full of bugs on pins.

This tiny bug was walking along the top of the brick and then went to the puddle that had collected in the middle of the brick, it’s a tiny bug but if you focus in on its back there’s tiny droplets on it, fascinating micro world.

Thanks for stopping

Biology

The Green Jewel Bug forms non-feeding clusters during hot dry periods especially along creeks, spreading out to feed on many plants from ferns and figs to Lantana when conditions improve. It occurs in tropical and subtropical Australia, extending as far south as Wollongong in New South Wales.

 

Identification

Length 9 to 14 mm. The Green Jewel Bug is extremely variable in coloration, ranging from metallic green to purplish-blue. Some specimens have an orange stripe across the shield-like scutellum.

listen this old song :George Jones - Love Bug

Well, I was ruling the roost, had all the chicks to myself.

And suddenly it happened, that funny little feeling I felt.

Well, I tried to outrun it, but it finally caught up with me.

Tell me how can I run from something that I can′t see?

 

Chorus:

Oh, that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.

Nobody's ever seen it, but it′s got the whole world shook up.

It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug.

It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.

  

Well, I always thought that I had me a pretty good style,

But I lost that race by a good old country mile.

Yeah, I was walking all around

With my head held way up high,

And it fooled me, hit me, really took me by surprise..............
