Phylum:Arthropoda

Class:Insecta

Order:Hemiptera

Family:Reduviidae

Subfamily:Harpactorinae

Genus:Arilus

Species:A. cristatus

Binomial name

Arilus cristatus

(Linnaeus, 1763)

The wheel bug (Arilus cristatus), in the family Reduviidae, is one of the largest terrestrial true bugs in North America, being up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) in length. A characteristic structure is the wheel-shaped pronotal armor. They are predators upon soft-bodied insects such as caterpillars, Japanese beetles, etc., which they pierce with their beak to inject salivary fluids that dissolve soft tissue. Because most of their prey are pests, wheel bugs are considered as beneficial to the garden as ladybugs. They are also known for eating stinkbugs.

Milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) know EXACTLY when the milkweed flowers (Asclepias tuberosa) are gone and the seedpods have formed. There are usually bugs of varying sizes on my plants. Here is a photos of a mating pair. Their offspring are all orange at first, and tiny.

I've just had 6 weeks OS so I'm really looking forward to getting out and about with the Tas bugs again.

I can only see two tarsal segments on this bug nymph, but I suspect I'm being duped and it is actually Pentatomidae?? It was on one of prolific, weedy grass infested beds we call "garden".

Now that I've made that call it is guaranteed to be wrong :-)

Bug Smashers by Computer_073

14 2

The Bug Smashers are used to eliminate any threats caused by the planets dangerous flora and were made to protect resource extraction machinery and workers like the Drill Walker. Thers 4 types of soldiers. The basic Soldier(silver helmet), The Machine Operator (white helmet) which operate exo suits and other vehicles, Jetpacker (turquoise helmet) which can fly and the Commander (gold helmet) which commands and leads squadrons. For drones and machinery there is the basic auto targeting turret, The cargo carrying dog and the airborne drone. For vehicles there is the Exo suit that the Machine Operator is controlling. The Exo-suit and Dog were not originally made to be used against the bugs and were originally used to transport and help move cargo at the planets various facility's. The Exo-suit was upgraded to withstand its quad-canons recoil and to withstand the fall it endures when being dropped from a dropship. The Exo-suit can hold onto more cargo and guns on its back thanks to the various bar attachments. Usually the suit is equipped with a quad canon and a backup shotgun to deal with the bug threat. The Bug Smashers were inspired by the game helldivers and their bug like enemy's.

We get lots of these bugs on our Acacia fimbriata when it's in flower. Their markings remind me of Art Deco designs.

Coccinella transversalis, commonly known as the transverse ladybird[1] or transverse lady beetle is a species of ladybird beetle found from India across southern and southeastern Asia to Malesia and Australia.

Like many species of ladybirds, the transverse ladybird plays an important role in agriculture as it preys on a wide array of plant-eating insects which damage crops, particularly early in the growing season.

Photoshop bug :-(((( by Vicco Gallo

And this is not only a visualization bug, no, this error is rendered in the image!

System:

-- Adobe Photoshop CC, newest update

-- Geforce, GTX 750 Ti, newest drivers

-- 16 Gig RAM, Intel i5, 3,2 GHz, Win 7 64 Bit

That Graphics card is (was, for one year) normally the perfect Photoshop workhorse and now this ....

The errors are gone, the moment I switch-off GPU acceleration, but who wants that ..?!
