We went to the World's Largest Nachos event at SoMa Street Foods, which was put on by the folks at Chirps Chips. Chirps Chips are made with flour from ground up crickets, so there was a large "bug" theme at the event. Our favorite part was the Bug Zoo in the back. It was filled with hissing cockroaches, stinkbugs, blue death feigning beetles, and other insects.
The green shield bugs (Palomena prasina) are coming out if hibernation more and more, with several seen this morning; still in their darker overwintering colour.
Well, I won't be getting any squash this year. I don't know where they came from but for some reason I have squash borers. I had them before but I thought that was because of the soil in which I planted. I planted containers this year with new soil so I don't really understand why I got them.

I'm starting to feel badly at how little I know about plants & insects. This little guy was mighty cute, but I don't know his name! The wild grasses in my backyard are just crawling with life! : ) Seen on June 28, 2007 in Columbia County, New York, USA. Identified as a Two-Spotted Grass Bug!

The tiny black specks on the nest are Swallow Bugs (Oeciacus vicarius), relatives of the infamous human bed bug. Best known for infesting colonial nesting species like Cliff Swallows, they can also torment solitary nesters like Barn Swallows on occasion. These parasites have also been known to enter human habitations and bite people when Cliff Swallows nest under the eaves of houses. KN

This little bug was neat, he reminded me of something from Star Wars, for some reason. I searched the Rosemary for others but didn't see another.
