Austrotichus rugosus changing from one stage to another.
We find these feeding on the Allocasuarina humilis cones. They hang around together as a family. The young feed by inserting their proboscis into the plant.

This bug is actually called a Goldenrod Soldier Bettle, Chauliognathus pennsylvanicus Or Pennsylvanis Leatherwing Beetle
Our backyard is full of Lady Bugs this year. We have lots of aphids so there is plenty of food for them to feast on. We also have lots of finches too which I suspect are eating the lady bugs.

Always nice to see females with eggs! They're such good mothers though that they're infuriating, as they constantly lean towards the lens, to protect their brood!!

Sally and I enjoyed watching a Trash Bug in our garden last year. The 2020 one isn't quite as colorful (see comments section). I went inside to look for a bit of glitter (to see if he would pile it on), but he disappeared and then it rained.
Wheel Bug found in the United States. It is one of the largest terrestrial true bugs in North America, reaching up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) in length in its adult stage. Nymphs do not yet have the wheel-shaped structure. Body length of the nymph in the photo approximately 2.5 cm.
This bug left a present on my Heliotrope in exchange for a little nourishment...^+^
I found this pretty little weed on a jobsite a couple of years ago and have been treating it kindly in a little flowerbed of it's own. Called a Heliotrope, it has migrated up from Mexico to southern parts of the U.S.
I've been traveling a lot recently and my photography needed to take a temporary back seat. It feels good to post again. ^_^

I stopped by the lake yesterday in our smokey environment (thus the coloring). The smoke must have driven the insects lower, as the swallows, and this hummingbird, were having a grand time with the selection of tasty treats!
I am not sure if the small wasp on the cicada's head was parasitizing it, or just being annoying, Any thoughts welcome. Cicada is in the Genus Tibicen, a True Bug. Andover, NJ
