A not so common native Australian shield bug, with a body length of around 10 mm.
Within order Hemiptera, this is a true bug with piercing, sucking mouthparts.
I love this anterior appearance. Like an orange-tipped arrow shooting out of the shadows.

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.

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.

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.
I've been traveling a lot recently and my photography needed to take a temporary back seat. It feels good to post again. ^_^

... I didn't have the bug and the desire to get an iphone, and I am getting very anxious now. it will make flickring and facebooking a lot easier to incorporate in my daily life (in the spots they would fit best - like the 1 hour commute home... hubby's driving btw ;) waiting to find a free phone for paul to use until the new iphone comes out, since he REALLY wants to wait and get that new one. I think I will do plenty fine with this last generation iphone.
have a lovely Friday everyone!

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!
