One of the thousands of beautiful and harmless bugs we find in the fields.
Uno de los miles de chinches hermosos e inofensivos que encontramos en los campos.
The look on this poor bison bull's face expresses well his discomfort from the hundreds of buzzing biting bugs hovering around him. Rolling in his dusty wallow helps him fight them off, but only for a few minutes. Poor fellow.
Normally post only 1 photo a day but posted these 5 in order to show what Bison and other critters have to put up with bugs. Wanted to dose him down with deet......must say, would drive me crazy.....
Thanks, as always, for taking a look and for any comments, faves or suggestions.
NB: not captive. Seen on garden plant pot gravel.
I believe this bug with lovely markings and texture is genus Platycoris, perhaps bipunctatus. Commonly known as the toad stink bug.
This is a true bug, with piercing and sucking mouthparts.
Body length 10 mm.

Jagged Ambush Bug
Macro Monday! Another view of the Jagged Ambush Bug ~ These statuesque bugs wait for a small insect to land on the wild flower. With those devastating claws, sharp beak and effective camo, they are quite the hunters. They are about 8-10mm.
