An adorable 1960s haiku book (published in Tokyo) that sings the praises of insects and plants of all kinds. It's illustrated with lovely drawings by late California artist Earl Thollander.

Farmers knew of the Ladybird's value in reducing the level of pests in their crops and it was traditional for them to cry out the rhyme before they burnt their fields following harvests ( this reduced the level of insects and pests) in deference to the helpful ladybird:
Ladybug! Ladybug!
Fly away home.
Your house is on fire.
And your children all gone.
All except one,
And that's little Ann,
For she crept under
The frying pan.
Wheel bug
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wheel bug
Arilus cristatus Kaldari 02.jpg
Scientific classification
Kingdom:Animalia
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.
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 :-)

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 The Exo-suit and Dog were not originally made to be used against the bugs and were originally used to transport and help move cargo at the planets various facility's. The Exo-suit was upgraded to withstand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.
I think these are the nymphs of the Spined Predatory Shield Bug (Oechalia schellenbergii). Seen at Evan’s Crown Nature Reserve, Tarana, NSW.
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 ..?!

Some bugs I found in my new backyard.
I really appreciate feedback on my photos, but I don't want graphics in the comments unless it's relevant to my photo. A similar photo by you, for instance.
No group invitation graphics or 'this image was seen in ...' graphics. It's just annoying and clutters up the comments.
I do not know the name of this insect but it belongs to the true bug family. Photographed at the NAPWC. December 12, 2009.
A tiny bug in the Miridae family - possibly a Broken-back Bug (Taylorilygus apicalis). The flowers of this plant are only 6 mm across, so it gives you an idea of the size of the bug - about 5mm.
