Like assassin bugs nymphs, stilt bug nymphs molt several times as they mature. I happened to catch one in the process on this gaura stem. It looks like most of the exuvia is sitting on the stem. It would have made an interesting video, but I wouldn't have been steady enough...
Last summer the wrens had a good year.

Thank you for looking at my photos. I certainly appreciate it.
Found that little lady bug sitting there and enjoying the sun.
Handheld and manually focussed - the best shot I could get from it. A bit desaturated, colours adjusted accordingly to fit using Lightroom.
Hope, you like it. Please let me know what you think.
Severely endangered. Since these images were made, this habitat has been decimated by a hurricane.

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.

There were several of these tiny critters exploring the garden this morning. Shot at 1:1, with 12 mm extension tube.
Zelus longipes, I think.
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.

If you ever wonder where the old VW Bugs went to, you can find many of them in Mexico. We found this one in San Miguel de Allende recently. This is processed in the spirit of Sliders Sunday. HSS!
I was amazed at the pollen coverage the bees were getting from the dandelions in the yard. This bee shows that pretty well as it works this dandelion.

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."
Textures applied and glass panes applied to this doll house of horror through photo slides. The rest is an art display by Jennifer Angus.
