Cicadas were droning about everywhere and are among my partner's favourite insects, so he insisted I photograph this one. :) Wentworth Falls area of the Blue Mountains, NSW.
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.
Had a very strange bug in Aperture today. After cropping a photo (not the one that is visible, but the one that is in the selected stack), the visible redraw issues occurred. In the Console thousands of messages were scrolling by, such as:

This Praying Mantis almost looks cross eyed. Taken at home in a rose bush. It let me abuse him with my flash for some time and never left. When I went back out it was gone. Can't blame it.
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
I released 1500 lady bugs in our hoop house this afternoon and this little fella's already at work on an aphid!
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.
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.
