A pincher bug, or earwig found on the patio while I was shooting another photo. There is a white hair around him - must belong to Missy. Funny how I don't see these things when I am shooting the photo - only later in processing.
Earwigs are one species of insect that can easily be identified by just their appearance. It’s their pinchers or forcep-like appendages at the end of their abdomens that give them away. This is also why these insects are known as a “pincher bug.” Even though these pinchers look like they can cause some painful damage, they are primarily used for holding prey and not as a offense weapon. Earwigs are usually scavengers, feeding on dead animal and plant material but some species will feed off of living plants. The insects will generally be more active during the evening hours and can be found under rocks, debris and boards during the day.
It is believed that the word earwig originated from the Anglo-Saxon word earwicga, which means “ear creature.” This term originated from the widespread belief that earwigs would crawl into the ears and bore into the brains of sleeping people. With that said, doctors remove the insects from human ears from time to time but it doesn’t happen on a regular basis to substantiate the myth.
Earwigs are often found near building foundations, similar to other insects such as crickets, centipedes and millipedes. To keep these pesky pests out of your house, keep your structure’s exterior free of earwig hiding places and regularly rake up dead leaves from the yard. Exterior pest control maintenance every two months and interior service twice a year will keep the earwigs at bay.
The Picasso Bug is one of the approximately 450 known species of shield-backed bug. They are a medium-sized species of shield-backed bug. They are generally oval shaped , and average approximately 0.25 in (6.3 mm) in body length. Though sometimes mistaken for a beetle, the Picasso Bug is actually a true bug. This dazzlingly patterned insect is distinguished from beetles by their extended thorax. This effectively forms a shield over their abdomen and wings. They feed on the nectar and fluids of a wide variety of plants within their endemic range.
Picasso Bug Distribution and Biology
The Picasso Bug is endemic to South Africa, Ethiopia, and Cameroon. They are also closely related to the so-called stinkbug, and are capable of emitting a noxious odor if disturbed. They feed primarily upon the juices of a variety of plants, including some commercial crops. While they are not as brightly hued as some related species, the Picasso Bug is renowned for the elaborate nature of its distinctive markings. These markings have led some to comment that they appear to have been painted by Picasso. This is the source of their name. #ourbreathingplanet

my son on a bug hunt
A man was nice enough to give my son a butterfly that landed on him because he saw us looking for insects. We thanked the stranger and put the butterfly in our jar. On our way back to the car we saw a giant beetle running across the trail. We caught it and threw it in the jar. As we were getting close to the car I looked in the jar and saw the beetle munching on the butterfly! I couldn't believe it, he was really going at it. Baffled, I came home and scoured the internet trying to identify the giant hungry beetle. It turns out, out of all beetles we could have came across and put in the jar with the butterfly was one called.....a caterpillar hunter
Bug on our tent. Shasta-Trinity National Forest, California. Violet filter and lighting effects applied.
Found 4 of these in the plastic sealed container I use for my koi fish food mix.
Think they are larder beetle larvae.
My sister sent me a text message while we were at the shops, saying she'd found some little bugs under the leaf of one of their tomato plants. I had my camera with me, and their house was almost on the way home, so we decided to drop in to take a few photos (and see my sister and her family, of course...that was the only way I could get Josh to leave the shops!).
Well, these are the tiny bugs. I have no idea what they are. But they were very little, and they didn't really move much. My sister had thought the bugs were eggs, until she saw some move, and then saw the white eggs.
I am grateful for people who take an interest in and help me with my photography hobby (and other hobbies too).
