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!
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.
Pentatoma rufipes belongs to the Pentatomidae family and has a length of 12 - 15 mm. It is thus one of the largest bugs in Central Europe. The species is abundant and occurs throughout Europe and northern Asia. Adults can be found near forests and parks from July until November.
Santa Rita Prickly Pear Cactus blossom and a bug. Southwest Arizona, USA. Full frame. Dedicated macro lens. No crop. No post processing.
More than 30 species in North America go by the common name "jagged ambush bug" and they are difficult to tell apart. So I introduce Phymata sp., a relative of assassin bugs--both assassin and assassin are well camouflaged insectivores that sit, wait, and pounce. The assassin bugs have very strong front legs, and can hang on to a prey specimen larger than the assassin bug.
In the gardens I'm generally looking down. This morning, though, I happened to look up into a tree. There I saw this Nezara sp., hanging out on a Japanese maple seed. Smelled ok to me...

You should really run away
Other people wouldn't stay

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.
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!

This looks like some sort of beetle similar to a lady bug, but I can't ID it. It was very tiny, and is crawling along the leaf stem on a Plumeria tree.
only as I adjusted focus did I see this tiny, tiny bug, blending in so well with it's Baeckea flower :)
