One of the few insects that feeds on milkweed. My tropical milkweed is currently hosting them along with yellow aphids and Monarch caterpillars. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
A Squash Bug I captured yesterday using my Pentax K1ii with my Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro along with my Tamron 1.4TC for close to a 1.5:1 magnification.
I changed the formula a bit and tweaked the color and lighting settings a good deal. Mot a totally new fractal, just a light tweak, but I do like the results. Thank you, Garth, for sharing the parameters.

Halyomorpha halys, also known as the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), or simply the stink bug, is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, native to China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. It was accidentally introduced into the United States, with the first specimen being collected in September 1998. The brown marmorated stink bug is considered to be an agricultural pest.

My neighbour Pat has allowed me to take photos on her property. I love to walk the fence line between our yards. It's so beautiful on her 3 acres. I found this little bug waiting for a victim to come close so he could have a meal.
I was actually trying to shoot some lichen on this twig, when this guy wandered into the scene and demanded some attention.
This poor kid has such a bug phobia. She just can not hold it together around stink bugs or spiders. She's crazy allergic to mosquitos and develops these huge baseball sized welts wherever she's bitten. After several weeks of camp, creek walking, she is covered in massive itching welts. This evening a gnat flew in her ear and she fell to the ground, covered her head with her arms and just sobbed "I just can't do it anymore. I hate them so much. I just hate them! WHY DO THEY LOVE ME SO MUCH?"
I've been in Coventry visiting my parents for the weekend. Dad brought a conifer into the house to decorate as a Christmas tree - and a couple of juniper shield bugs came in with it :-) I haven't seen these in my garden, so a new photographic record from the weekend.
Handheld, natural light.
