I'm pretty sure these are Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs (Halyomorpha halys).

I've never seen a furry June bug before. Usually they have hard smooth exoskeletons on them.

Lucky capture. Thought there was one bettle on the flower until I pulled through the photos on the big screen!

I just ran across these weird red and black spiders today and I’ve never seen a spider/bug like it. At first I was thinking maybe they’re some sort of beetle, but there’s a lot of webbing.

Anyone have any idea what kind of spiders or bugs these are? Now we know these are Wheel bug nymphs.

Apologies for the lack of text accompanying today’s upload. I sliced my left index finger open yesterday and it hurts to type, not least because I usually type with my two index fingers! Simple descriptions, then:

Unknown insect atop an impressive fungi. [Warrimoo, Blue Mountains.]

Pulga fantasma.

The beetle looks like it was too small to use for a skateboard. Besides, we couldn't find one for the other foot. :-)

A bunch of nymphs *possibly wheel nymphs (Thanks Robert), hanging out on what is left of an African Lily flower.

At least, I think it's an Assassin Bug. Suggestions welcomed.

I'm shy ... don't photo me!!

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.

Hoppers (Shistocerca gregaria) are approximately 36-42mm.

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.

An assassin bug from the genus Rhynocoris hunting on lavender, South of France.

Assassin bugs are insects from the order of hemiptera, recognizable by their four-parts piercing-sucking mouthparts, and sub-order heteroptera, characterized by forewings with both hardened and membranous portions.

They are either predatory or blood-suckers (Rhodnius prolixus is the main vector of the Chagas disease), majority of predators species are able to attack any insect orders they encounter.

There's 3 species of Rhynocoris that are extremely similar to each other in France:

R. iracundus, R. cuspidatus and R.rubricus, those species can be identified by the shape of their genital capsules.
