Two bugs on a walnut tree leaf. What can they be?
The tree's in the mountains of Gran Canaria, in case that helps.
Another tree nearby had some larvae but my guess is they're not related. But then I'm a bug-ignoramus :)
Update: seems to be vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus
Aggregation of Oxycarenus lavaterae on a linden tree in the spring (Slovenian name of the bug is "rjava lipovka", thanks to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yerpo for the determination)
A very amusing result from this generator. Daffy doesn't seem to like what's in the pot.

has begun. attendance is down a bit so far this year, but all the best in box elder bug activities and pasttimes are here for the doing:
- having big creepy orgies of red and black and little bug legs
- crawling on the house
- crawling on the kitchen ceiling
- being accidentally crushed underfoot
- finding inappropriate places to chill in the bathroom and bedroom
- freaking out guests
yay box elder bug convention!
It frosted the last few days. The insects stiffen up and succumb to the cold. This wheel bug was huddled on my porch and didn't even start moving till I brought him in the house to warm up. He is missing part of his left antenna. Ever leery of their beak I was careful not to touch him with my hand. I did warm up a katydid by holding him in my warm hands. (See photo from yesterday). Both eventually started moving and went their own way. I don't think either will survive winter.

I hope that you can all bear with me while I am going through my 'bug phase'! Hopefully soon I will have time to venture further afield than simply into the field across the road! Mind you, that won't happen this week!

Who doesn't like a sunflower shot with a bug on it? A bit of a lazy garden shot, mebbe, but yah boo to you: my photostream; I like it, it stays.
Being a little more grown up about it, the Helianthus genus lists about 70 species and is North American in origin.
The young flowers are heliotropic - they track the sun across the sky during the day. Which gives them their French name, tournesol and the Spanish girasol. But once they start blooming, they stop and generally face east.
I love them but the spouse doesn't. They are intrinsically linked to cancer care in the UK. Dunno why, but they just are. And she says she doesn't want to bring work into the garden. Which is fair enough.

Black bugs are true bugs related to grain-sucking, stink bugs of rice. They are included with plant-sucking pests because the large adults and nymphs have sucking mouthparts and remove plant sap from tillers. Black bugs can become highly abundant and cause plants to wilt, producing a condition referred to as bug burn ( Fig. 229 ). As with other true bugs, they do not produce honeydew.
There are several species of black bugs, but Malaysian black bug is the most common on rice. The charcoal black female lays grayish pink eggs in clusters and, having maternal instincts sits over the eggs protecting them from parasites and predators ( Fig. 230 ). Therefore parasites are able to attack only the eggs at the outer edge of a mass.
Black bugs are not restricted to rice and feed on some grasses and maize. These hosts are important in maintaining populations of black bugs during nonrice seasons. The adults fly at night and are strongly attracted to artificial light. During outbreaks they accumu- late in large numbers beneath street lamps ( Fig. 231 ). Even though the black bug is highly dispersive, it tends to be restricted in distribution to specific sites where it recurs year after year. These sites tend to be near swampy places. Black bugs can span the dry season in dormancy at the base of plants or in cracks in the soil.

No wonder, the #CottonStainer #bugs design sparked the idea of making #masks for fright or fun, as copying best themes of #MotherNature is mankind’s business
Not a #beetle, 🐞 but a #bug 🐝 infamous for leaving stains on the #CottonCrop was caught #mating.
An abstract black and white photo taken at Yellowstone National Park. There's bug in the photo, but I'm told it looks like something sexual in nature.
A ladybug I found in my garden. This photo is part of my blog entry on beneficial bugs. I also have a video on my blog that I uploaded to YouTube of a lady bug eating black aphids.
