A pair of Dock Bugs actually doing their thing on a Dock leaf!
The Dock Bug (Coreus marginatus) is a large and mottled reddish-brown squashbug with a broad, oval abdomen. The two small projections between the antennae are diagnostic.
There is one generation per year, adults mating and laying eggs in spring. The nymphs feed on dock and other related plants in the Polygonaceae; new adults may be found from August onwards. The Dock Bug is common and widepread in southern Britain, including Ireland, where it may be found in a variety of dry and damp habitats.
This tiny bug can hardly make a good macro shot for me. I blame it on its size and the competency level of the kit lens used. And yet I still think it lives up well to my bokeh upload with some sense of depth perception.
Let me share a little profile on this petite creepy-crawly, I think it belongs to a stink bug family. I remember this type of bug is quite a nuisance that would discharge stinky smell when they got disturbed. In a good dry season they may congregate in millions. It is known to be agricultural pest that causes widespread damage to fruits, vegetables and crops.
When you see this kind of bug, don’t try to pick it up, just take a picture and leave.
Don’t bug the bug!
HBW everyone!
An unidentified Shield Bug found in Corfu in June.
It is possibly the Red Shield Bug (Carpocoris mediterraneus) but the colour of this insect is so much darker the C. mediterraneus. However, colour is not necessarily diagnostic in identifying these insects. If anyone can offer any help, then this will be gratefully received.
Reduviidae, Assassin bug
I was focusing on a spider devouring its prey when this little assassin landing on my hair and then fly again to the nearby grass. Hey! nobody step on my head and get away that easy.... I have been looking for this species for a while, so the spider can get back in the queue. This is Assassin bug .... they most commonly have an elongated head with a distinct narrowed neck, long legs, and a prominent rostrum for feeding. If harassed, they can use their rostrum to deliver a painful bite, which in some species can be medically significant. Predatory Reduviidae use the long rostrum to inject lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. The saliva contains enzymes that predigest the tissues they swallow. This method is commonly effective at killing prey substantially larger than the bug itself. Some species tend to feed on pests such as cockroaches or bedbugs and are accordingly popular in regions where people regard their hunting as beneficial. Some people even breed them as pets and for pest control.
Getting familiar with my Nikon 105mm 1:1 f/2.8 micro lens. Depth of field is super narrow so trying mess with focus points, focal length, and lighting with and without flash.
