Pittosporum Bug (Pseudapines geminata) nymph
A different type of Pittosporum Bug, the first I have seen. It was on a leaf of our Pittosporum tree. Hopefully I will get to see an adult sometime, they are good looking bugs.
Last summer the wrens had a good year.

Thank you for looking at my photos. I certainly appreciate it.
These 4-inch grasshoppers are too large and toxic for most natural predators, so they don’t need to move fast. If for any reason, you fail to heed the color warning and pick it up, the grasshopper makes a loud hissing noise and secretes an irritating foul-smelling foamy spray. Lubbers cannot fly far, and travel in short clumsy hops, or walk and crawl slowly through the vegetation. They feed on broadleaf plants and can become a nuisance when swarms invade residential areas and feast on garden plants.

I was going through some of the older photos and came across these little critters. Does anyone know what they are? I know I was in the village of Little Washington where there is a really large garden and I think these were probably not a welcome addition to the garden judging by the look of the leaf below them. Happy Sabbath to all, it's a wonderful, beautiful day here today. :)
This beautiful flower in a neighbor's yard in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California is drawing insects. This was taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max on the Raw and Macro settings.
Showcasing an array of bizarre food creations, the unusual menu consists of extreme 'delicacies' such as parfaits topped with a crisp cicada, dishes containing fried bugs and insects, as well as roasted crows and crocodile.

Small "true" bug, about 4-5mm
The tip of the forewing of Heteroptera is fairly thick (~1.2 microns), thus there is no color iridescence visible (brown curve). The base is even thicker and leathary. This is the origin of the name "hemiptera" which means "half-winged". The newer name Heteroptera means also "mixed-wings". This leads to the typical "X" structure of the closed wings in dorsal view, which is an easy means to identify "true" bugs.
Hind wings in contrast, are much thinner (~0.2 microns here), which leads to a brillant blue-violett if illuminated coaxially.

Psyllid Bug (genus Acizzia)
Spotted on our Plum Tree today. These wee ones are around 3 mm in length.
The quote from the animation Bug's Life by the Grasshopper "You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants out number us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line."
