The sun has shone in Yorkshire over the past couple of days. The leaves are changing colour and falling, making it much easier to spot bugs. I found two Shieldbugs one morning. ( More than I've found all summer ! ) Both were sunning themselves on autumnal leaves.
This one is a Forest bug but may be Picromerus bidens because of its very pointy ' shoulders '.

My husband thinks this is a cherry tree, but I thought cherry blossoms were pink, so I am not sure lol.
Taken on our dam I wondered down to see if the water lily’s had any more life left in them & found this bug doing what bugs do.
Series of three. I have just started putting together a Bug Hotel on my allotment. Poppy (the local cat, that loves my potting shed) thinks she might move into the bug hotel instead!

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.
It was a dark and stormy day.
One minute, it was a mottled, ho-hum cloudy kind of day. The kind you hate. The kind that makes you wish it was a few hours earlier or later; the better for the weather to start throwing a temper tantrum, or something. So it was going at the Bug Ranch in Conway, Texas, on Route 66.
Well, I wasn't paying attention. Suddenly I noted that the sky had turned, not black, but into a sheer opaque beige wall of dust and grime advancing on me which completely obscured the buildings and highway I had been fretting about in the foreground of my proposed shots. The wind rose, the temperature dropped, and the hair stood up on the back of my neck. I ran for the car, and found shelter just as a crescendo of wind and sound and spitting rain started keening around me.
Fifteen minutes later it was gone, but it left lasting damage on I-40 going east: a five or six hour delay cleaning up a massive four-semi accident, where at least one trucker lost their life and several others were injured.

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.

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.
