Got my first macro lens tonight :) With the low light conditions and just freehand made it rather difficult to keep in focus.
only as I adjusted focus did I see this tiny, tiny bug, blending in so well with it's Baeckea flower :)

Odorek zieleniak (Palomena prasina) siedzący na liściu.
Last Sunday we were walking along the greenway and we saw these gorgeous yellow tulips. I noticed little tiny black dots on them and wondered about them until I got home and downloaded the photos and had a closer look. They were tiny little bugs! I don't know what kind but they were a pretty greenish color. :) a full look at the tulips in first comment box. I hope everyone has a blessed Sabbath and are able to be out and enjoying God's creation. :)

Agonoscelis rutila
Family: Pentatomidae (stink bugs)
Order: Hemiptera
Although an Australian native insect, this bug usually feeds on the sap of introduced Horehound plants, or others in the mint family (Lamiaceae) sometimes causing wilting. Although they prefer Lamiaceae, they are known to aggregate on a variety of other plants. In this case I think it is a different plant family; Billy Goat Weed, Ageratum sp. in the family Asteraceae. They also feed on various seeds including the Horehound.
The species is quite communal and aggregates with others of the species on the target plants. It has the capability to control the spread of the Horehound plant, which is considered to be a weed. However the Bug is the target of parasitoid wasps including the introduced egg parasitoid, Trissolcus basalis. Ironically this wasp was introduced to Australia to control another bug, the Green Vegetable Bug but has turned to preying on the native Horehound bug (and 25 other native bugs as well). So it seems that an introduced wasp is preventing a native bug from controlling an introduced weed!
This was a focus stacked image from 46 individual handheld shots using a 90mm Sony lens and a Sony A7R with flash. The stacking was done using Boltnev and Kacher's "Focus Stacker" app.

Weiß jemand, was für eine Wanze das ist?
Does anyone know what kind of true bug this is?
out front in God's garden. "Seek" says it's a Carpenter Bee. Not the best shot and only got two ... but it's a beautiful pollinator!
Best viewed large,
Lady bug feasting on red aphids, my cup plant has turned red, never seen this before. Looks like they begin life black and then change to red, thought they were ants but looking closer are actually aphids. Rain will wash them off maybe, if it ever gets here, long hot drought conditions continue.
Last summer the wrens had a good year.

Thank you for looking at my photos. I certainly appreciate it.
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.

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.
