Ambush Bugs taking a break from spearing edible insects. My favorite insects because they are small, powerful, deadly and they look like dinosaurs!

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.

Stilt Bug, Metatropis rufescens, (Berytidae family).
Length 9-11 mm.
This large and unmistakeable orange-brown Stilt Bug is a woodland species, feeding on the leaves of Enchanter's Nightshade, Circaea lutetiana, an indicator of ancient woodland. They feed predominantly on the reproductive organs of the plants.
Despite its name, Enchanter’s Nightshade is unrelated to other Nightshades. It actually belongs to the willowherb family and is found in sun-dappled woodland, flowering between June and September.
This Stilt Bug is found throughout much of southern Britain including Wales, although absent from Ireland. It occurs in shady, mostly moist habitats in deciduous forests.
Overwintering occurs as an imago, (the final and fully developed adult stage), under loose bark or dry ground litter. Mating occurs in May and the females lay their eggs individually in June and July on the stems and leaves of Enchanter's Nightshade. From August, sometimes also in July, the emergent new generation occurs, and nymphs can be found until September.

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?"

A new bug for my collection - a Common Sawfly (Tenthredinidae) of some kind. Sawflies and their larvae are food for various birds, such as stonechat (Saxicola) birds, partridge chicks, nestling corn buntings, Black grouse chicks, and chestnut-backed chickadees, according to wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawfly
