Mirid Bug (Deraeocoris ruber)

I got all excited because I thought I had a Daddy Longlegs spider in the Rose so came in the house and changed lens so I could get a good macro and low and behold it wasn't a bug after all.. It is part of one of the little flowers from the Maple tree... I think it still looks a lot like a bug even with my glasses on and on the computer... LOL!!

I saw this bug on a car window. When I saw the image on the computer I liked the effect and to me it looks as if it is in space.

 

This bug is genus Riptortus, a pod-sucking true bug, with piercing and sucking mouthparts.

 

Body length 20 mm.

Leaffooted Bug (A true bug!), Leptoglossus oppositus

This bug was on the outside of the window and all other reflections (camera lens, etc.), dirt specs and outdoor images are as they appeared and have not been added or manipulated.

Leptoglossus is a genus of true bugs in the leaf-footed bug family. Several species are economic pests of agricultural crops. Like members of some other genera in the family, these bugs have leaflike dilations of the hind tibia. Leptoglossus oppositus is one of a variety of species of leaf-footed bugs. It looks very much like Leptoglossus fulvicornis but can be distinguished by the deeper scallops in the leaf-like feature of the hind tibia and the addition of three white spots across the hemelytra.

A very young bug spotted on the Jade plant. I should know the ID and will, hopefully, remember it later.

 

Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!

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.

couldn't make a proper id on this one, but it's probably in the miridae family

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.

 

On the fence again (!) here is a juvenile Woody looking for tasty bugs.

This bug was everywhere in Sipadan Kapalai Diving Resort.

This guy was already dead and floating in a fresh water tank for rinsing diving gears, and I couldn't help to shoot it since it was soooo beautiful.

 

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.

Always surprised to find insects still out in November. The pretty colors help overcome the bad reputation stink bugs have.
