The Camas are all but done blooming for the year. This plant and ones nearby have been affected by various bugs. There may not be any (or very few) seeds from these plants this year. There should be 20-50 seed inside this pod.
One of four images from a walk at Maywood Park in Colonie, New York, USA on July 28, 2022. I noticed a shadow on a leaf's surface, When I turned the leaf over, this is what I saw. I think they are Squash Bug nymphs.
A hoverfly, also known as a flower fly or syrphid fly, is a type of insect that belongs to the family Syrphidae. Hoverflies are found all over the world and are known for their ability to hover in mid-air, much like a helicopter. They are often seen hovering around flowers, where they feed on nectar and pollen.
Hoverflies are beneficial insects because they play an important role in pollination. They are attracted to brightly colored flowers and are often mistaken for bees or wasps because of their similar appearance. However, unlike bees and wasps, hoverflies do not have stingers and are harmless to humans.
One interesting feature of hoverflies is their ability to mimic the appearance of other insects, such as bees or wasps. This is a defense mechanism that helps protect them from predators. Hoverflies also lay their eggs near aphid colonies, and the larvae feed on the aphids, making them a natural predator of these garden pests.
Overall, hoverflies are important insects in the ecosystem and are beneficial to gardeners and farmers because of their role in pollination and pest control.
Hey, guys! I saw a wheel bug for the first time the other night!! I stepped out on my porch...and there it was! Needless to say I'm a bit of a dork when it comes to creepy crawlies so I was pretty excited. Unfortunately, the only halfway decent picture I managed to get of it was with my phone. Regardless of that, I wanted to share it with you. :) If you see one, be careful, I've read that that big thing on their snout stabs...and really really hurts.
Please check out my facebook ...A few likes would really be appreciated! Help me get to 100! :) facebook | instagram | 500px
Little Girl commandeered my new ladybug headband. It was purchased as a photo prop, so I suppose letting her be the first to model it isn't too bad a thing.
"These colourful bugs feed only on the seeds of the Sea Hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus). Both adults and nymphs are often found in groups under the leaves or among the flowers of this plant."- www.naturia.per.sg/buloh/inverts/cotton_stainer.htm
Found this group at Labrador Park, Singapore. They were all over this particular tree. A very colourful bug indeed. :D
I found these (3) tiny red bugs inside the reservoir so I thought maybe it's time to replace the filter? (it's about two months). So I went to Costco, got a 10 pk, gave the whole thing a bleach soak and changed the filter last night.
Tada! Look what I found this afternoon, the bugs are here again!
Does anyone has any clues about this and possible ID the bugs?
Could those bugs from my house and they just love to live inside the reservoir?!
I'm going to contact Brita now.
This is about 10 seconds before my brave wife picked up her slipper and mashed him into bug juice. So RIP bug.
PS: Bug juice does not come easily off the popcorn ceiling. Here is the after picture:
Not the normal insect sort, but from the look of it this is a baby Moreton Bay Bug. Found this inside a mussel we were eating! In fact, we found a couple of baby sized crabs and bugs inside the mussels. Might be spawning season and they're getting eaten.
