Found this bug shedding its exoskeleton. Not sure what kind of bug it is but I have seen the exoskeleton remains in the area before.

This tiny little bug just appeared on my laptop in my office, just now. I have no idea what he is (maybe a baby katydid?), but he doesn't look like a real bug. He's like a cartoon bug, all legs and antennas. In my head, he sits on my shoulder and speaks to me in a wacky French accent while we have many adventures.
He is a Cool Bug.

The name comes from the spiny wheel-shaped crest on their backs. It's a variety of assassin bug. Assassin bugs eat by stabbing their prey with a sharp mouthpiece on the front and injecting digestive fluids that dissolve the unlucky meal. I understand they have a nasty bite, so I wouldn't pester them too much. This one was too chilled and slow to care much about me. More info.

This milkweed bug is resting on a seed pod. His rostrum (beak) is folded underneath the head but at times he inserts this into the plant to suck juices. They often congregate on seed pods so I wonder if they aid in maturing the seed pod.

I am not sure about the name of the fly. It’s a common one. But in this I find it interesting an ant in its leg. It was already dead when I took this picture. I am not sure that the bug killed the ant. But the jaws of the ant were tightened on to the leg of the bug.

This funny bug was on a plant in our yard - I held a piece of black constustruction paper behind the plant. He was funny - he would wave his front legs at the camera.
