This tiny bug was walking along the top of the brick and then went to the puddle that had collected in the middle of the brick, it’s a tiny bug but if you focus in on its back there’s tiny droplets on it, fascinating micro world.
Thanks for stopping
I spotted this Birch Shield Bug on a leaf at the Botanical Gardens. It reminded me of the stink bugs we'd seen so many of back in Maryland, but I had not seen anything like this in Alaska. Apparently it likes the birch trees up here which sadly are under attack from pests similar to this. Even so, this insect has some interesting colors!
Taken 27 July 2022 at the Alaska Botanical Gardens, Anchorage, Alaska.
Morning hoverfly.... happy Friday!!! I used to live next to 2 acre lot and I could go in there and get photos like this all the time. The lot now has a house on it and now it’s so much harder to find these opportunities. All of my photos are taken out side, found subjects in their natural habitat.
Do birds watch bugs the same way people watch birds? In case you are thinking the goldfinch wants to eat the bee, they don’t eat insects, only nuts and seeds.
Thanks for your views, faves and comments! They are so much appreciated!

These could be Monkey beetles...not sure.
With the temperature starting to rise (15-17°C (59-63°F), the Spring Flowers starting to bloom and some rain (about 18mm or 3/4 inch) over the past 10 days we are starting to see some insect life in the garden.
Fly on a pepper leaf. Got this right before my lens fogged up from the humidity. Of course, there were no interesting insects around once my lens warmed up and no longer fogged.

Or stink bug. I had no idea these stink bugs went through instar stages! That's the cool thing about photography... it gets you to looking closer at the world around you and you find out interesting things! I think this bug is maybe 4th or 5th instar. These are the guys that put an end to my squash, tomatoes and cucumbers for the year. I don't know whether to be grateful to the little pests or dislike them more than I already do! LOL Have a wonderful day everyone!

Story;
Took this on a Family trip in July(?) 1972. We were doing the Indiana covered bridges. The camera used was just a "used" Kodak Brownie Flash 20. Basically, this was the start of my photo interests.

Color patterns are connected to their living quarters: generalists that live pretty much anywhere have fairly simple patterns of two strikingly different colors that they wear year round. Others that live in specific habitats have more complex coloration, and some can change color throughout the year. Specialist ladybugs use a camouflage coloration to match the vegetation when they're in hibernation and develop the characteristic bright colors to warn off predators during their mating season.
