This was taken on a visit to the Royal Horticultural gardens at Wisley in Surrey, England. It's a close up view of an Orchid, I thought it looked like it had Bugs Bunny's teeth.
The larger bug here was attacking the smaller shieldbug (hawthorn nymph?) It was eventually dragged down the crack in the wood at the top of the picture, whilst the birch shieldbug turned round and watched. The same type of bug appeared to attack the birch shieldbug (see previous post).
Nearly 3000 species of assassin bugs exist and scientists feel that many more will be discovered. These insects can be commonly found throughout most of the world. They vary in size from a few millimeters to as much as 3 or 4 centimeters. They come in many colors and shapes and most species have two pairs of wings. However, ALL assassin bugs have a powerful, curved rostrum, or beak, that they use to pierce and suck out the tissues of their prey.

I decided to try out a lens that my aunt and uncle got me, when I noticed that it didn't fit on my camera! Although I was disappointed I was determined to get an okay macro shot. So I went outside, shot many photos of flowers, leaves, and grass. This shot was my favourite because it reminds me of being a little kid & wondering what being a bug is like. The lighting in this shot was a blessing! Although blurred around the edges, that's how I wanted the shot to look. It adds a special element!
Chinch bugs, genus Blissus, are notorious pests, but this is only the second or third one I've ever seen. They are tiny, though. Parkville, Missouri, USA, May 14, 2023.
