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.

Don't worry it's just a ventilation unit.

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.
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!
Lady bug on new growth of the guava tree.
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.
Have a happy day/evening
A jewel bug at work. He is too busy preparing breakfast while i attempted capturing it with my Camera.
I'm not sure what kind of plant this is. And I'm not sure what kind of bugs these were. But I really like the colors in juxtaposition and the swarming of the little insects on this small leaves.
Got my first macro lens tonight :) With the low light conditions and just freehand made it rather difficult to keep in focus.
Ambush Bug (Phymata ) found in central WI.
Phymata Ambush Bugs are sit-and-wait predators that are well camouflaged on flower heads. When an insect comes within reach, they are quick to grab it with their massive forelegs. Despite their diminutive size they are seemingly fearless about grabbing bees and other large prey.
