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).

I was in the kitchen when I heard the girl cry out from the laundry room. "A bug!" she wailed. "Mommy, get rid of it! But, wait... before you get rid of it, will you take a picture first?" Oh, that's my girl!
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!
I was checking on my bell pepper plants this evening and found this green caterpillar and this stink bug attached. I don't know if those eggs are the stink bug's or not, they don't look like other pictures I've seen. It was a very strange sight.
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.

Found walking around the front yard. Shot with a 28mm extension tube and a reversed Nikon 50mm. Stopped down f8 I think.
I am tired of finding bugs in my ivy geraniums. Unless, of course, the bugs are eating the worms that like to eat the plants. Then they're A-OK with me! ;)
