A Dock Bug (Zuringwants / Coreus marginatus) on my rubarb.
Coreus marginatus, commonly called the dock bug, is a species of squash bug. It is a speckled brown insect with a broad abdomen, and is common in most parts of Europe. It is often found in dense vegetation, such as hedgerows and wasteland, where it mainly feeds on the leaves and seeds of docks and sorrels. When touched, a brown liquid is excreted that smells very bad and is very difficult to remove.
De zuringwants leeft in grote delen van Europa en is in de meeste streken niet zeldzaam. De habitat bestaat uit zonnige plaatsen want dit dier houdt van zonnen zodat ze sneller worden. Deze soort leeft in zowel bosranden en vochtige hooilanden als grasland met hier en daar dichtere begroeiing, maar ook in stadsparken en wegbermen wordt de zuringwants aangetroffen, meestal in de buurt van water. Bij verstoring wordt snel gereageerd op de trillingen en laat het dier zich vallen of vliegt weg. In bladstrooisel is het zeer goed gecamoufleerd. De zuringwants is een goede vlieger die 'vanuit stand' kan vliegen en niet eerst ergens op hoeft te klimmen. Bij aanraking wordt een bruine vloeistof afgescheiden die erg stinkt en moeilijk is te verwijderen.
Stink Bug Hell by Shane K Smith
Stink Bugs or Pentatomidae are infesting Winston-Salem and Lexington, NC farm area homes. They come every year around Halloween. They are hard to kill with Pesticides. I’ve tried foggers but they barely work. They fly sort of stupidly and crash but hide well under clothes, in clothes on window sills near light. They can swim and dive under water as I have tried to flush them. They come back out of the toilet hole after being flushed! They do the backstroke no joke! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmvojex1v-I
They leave a sweet nasty smell that keeps attracting more. If you catch them with a Kleenex then drop them in a torture device made from a two liter bottle you have your best luck. Wear surgical gloves or a Kleenex so the smell doesn’t get on your fingers. They don’t just fly in the bottle. You have to use the bottle sometimes to physically move them to fall through the hole. Just cut the top off of a 1 or 2 liter bottle then turn it upside down inside of itself. The bugs fall in the hole. I also use vacuum cleaners. What you do with them after that is your own choice. The Hindus will send me to hell for killing these bugs. Maybe I will see the stink bugs there! I have let my share of insects fly or crawl free. But I am not sharing my house with these imports! The traps we bough from the store are empty because they don’t work. Coming soon Stink Bug Hell the movie.
Milkweed bugs (Lygaeus kalmii), sitting on milkweed. The bright orange is an advertisement that they are poisonous, and not to eat them (they apparently keep poison from the milkweed in their system to deter birds...)
Couple seen today at a new site for them in Jersey.
About 3mm long on damp mud on edge of deciduous woodland
Handle of my SOG Sealpup Elite. The bug was never intended to be in the shot. It landed on the handle so I decided to take a closer shot.
James Hayward and Julie Becker in "Bug" by Tracy Letts July 29-August 6, 2011. The Factory Theatre, Boston.
The big bugs soaring in the stairwell were created when the Museum was located in the Pitcher-Goff House in Pawtucket, RI by RISD alum and faculty member Melissa Ferreira. The insects were part of a rotating “Changing Skies” display and were on view in the summer. Ferreira also made the colorful flying butterflies and the carved wooden animals in the Littlewoods exhibit.

This is alyssum, already a tiny flower, but this bug was even smaller. I didn't know he was there till I saw him through the view finder.
I just posted in the Flickr forum!

Surprisingly hard to initiate a new topic these days. Funny.
Plant bug having a drink. Saw this fly off my coat when I had come inside after a walk. Trapped it and gave it a drop of sugar/honey syrup to feed on
Probably the shield bugs are among the best known bugs in everybody's garden. They are named after their shape, which does remind one of the shields, knights used to defend themselves with in medieval times. Scientifically however they are not one family. Usually four families are considered belonging to the shield bugs, because of their shape and the fact that their antennae are comprised of five elements each.

I don't know why but I have never seen these before. This one took a liking to my car and crawled all over it for several stops while running errands. Anyone know what it is exactly?
Ladybird Beetles are also known as Ladybugs and Lady Beetles. The adults are oval domed in shape, range in length from about 1 mm to 10 mm depending upon species. Females in general are a little larger than males. Like all other beetles, their hard forewings cover the membranous hind wings and protect the abdomen. Their legs and their clubbed antenna are short, which are usually hidden beneath their bodies when disturbed.
Most Ladybird species, both adults and larvae, are predators. They feed on very small insects such as aphids, scale insects and mite. Both adults and larvae may be found on the same plants feeding on the same species of prey. They may consume flower nectar, water and honeydew from aphids as supplement.
