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!
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.
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.
The Portland Breakwater Light (also called Bug Light) is a small lighthouse in South Portland, Maine.
The lighthouse was first built in 1855, as a wooden structure, but the breakwater was extended and a new lighthouse was constructed at the end of it in 1875. The new lighthouse was made of curved cast-iron plates whose seams are disguised by six decorative Corinthian columns. Its design was inspired by the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, made well known by engravings. The architect was Thomas U. Walter, most noted as the designer of the U.S. Capitol east and west wings and its current dome. Wooden sheds and a six-room house for the lighthouse-keeper were added incrementally as needed. In 1897 Spring Point Ledge Light was erected and the houses around Bug Light were demolished and the Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse keepers tended to both lighthouses. During World War II, the breakwater was slowly absorbed by landfill as the New England Shipbuilding Corporation built two shipyards next to the lighthouse. These shipyards produced Liberty Ships for the war effort. Because of the smaller breakwater, there was a lesser need for the lighthouse and it was decommissioned in 1943.
Restoration
The light was fully restored in 1989 and was reactivated in 2002. It appears as a private aid to navigation in the US Coast Guard Light List as South Portland Breakwater Light. Today a park named after the lighthouse, Bug Light Park, allows visitors to view the Portland Breakwater Light up close, while memorializing the shipbuilding efforts of World War II. The light was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Portland Breakwater Light on June 19, 1973.
It was absolutely frigid!!! My fingers were so cold and in pain... but I couldn't stop. haha
