a Western Conifer Seed Bug in the Daphne in the garden

I've never seen a bug like this before - his head looked like a little, bright red, round pinhead, and he had four tiny things on his back that looked like pom poms, lots of legs, pipe cleaner-like feeler things in the front and back, and little spiky hairs all over. He was crawling on a box of sparklers on my porch at our fourth of July cookout.

edit: according to mscaprikell, he is an Orgyia leucostigma, or White-marked Tussock Moth caterpillar.

I don't believe it's an assassin bug as it is drinking plant juices in this image

Assassin Bug, freshly molted. It has been doing a lovely job of keeping the aphids under control on this sunflower, but it demands respect as I hear it has a nasty bite!

This is one of the coolest bugs I've ever seen. I've since learned that this buzz-saw-backed arthropod is known as a wheel bug, and it's probably a good thing I didn't try to handle him. Apparently his bite is quite painful and can take months to fully heal.

Isn't learning fun?

Bugs. Everywhere.

I think it is a Western Conifer Seed bug...just checking other possibilities to be sure

I was dragging the map to get to my hometown so I could draw a route when it started complaining. Had to start totally over before the map reset. Changing zoom or panning away didn't solve it.

weird little bug

The whole tree, but just one tree on the street, is infested by these little things.

Palomena prasina - Common Green Shieldbug ???

Most probably one of this species [perhaps a nymph] but could equally be something else entirely. I think it was supping on the raindrops on this hydrangea flower rather than feasting. Anyway, I thought it made for a nice contrast against the pink of the flower.

You will only find it from opening up all sizes and viewing the largest size.

Reduviidae (from the contained genus, Reduvius which comes from the Latin reduvia meaning hangnail or remnant) is a large, cosmopolitan family of predatory insects in the suborder Heteroptera. It includes assassin bugs (genera include Melanolestes, Platymeris, Pselliopus, Rasahus, Reduvius, Rhiginia, Sinea, Triatoma, and Zelus), wheel bugs (Arilus cristatus), and thread-legged bugs (the subfamily Emesinae, including the genus Emesaya). There are about 7000 species altogether, making it one of the largest families in the Hemiptera.

had to do some bug killing, and all that was readily available for the task was a sheet of graph paper out of my journal
