First detected in Orange County in 2008, Painted Stink Bugs originated from either Africa or Europe. They are found more often scurrying across a trail than in plants.

This katydid was hanging onto our front door molding yesterday. I helped her outside but she got pretty cranky when I tried to help her. She was a whole lot friendlier than most of the things we find crawling around here!
This bug is commonly called the Wheel Bug and is classified as an "Assassin Bug." It will pierce its victim and inject a paralyzing agent that will turn their insides to goo. It is said their bite is much more painful than a sting of a hornet, but luckily they don't usually bite humans (although, like most creatures, it certainly can happen).
I found this guy outside on our porch and had to grab a shot of him.
Looks lacy, but larger than a lace bug. And hopped off so ?some kind of hopper! Sitting on thumbnail for scale - is not that small. The photos of it sitting on a nettle leaf were not good.
This bug looks to me like a mountaineer getting ready to climbg a challenging slope - which just happens to be a large lily! The bug needs to be seen large size.

I've been getting an interesting bug this afternoon on all my Google searches.
Every non-google site is displaying with a "this site may harm your computer" link under the main search result.
This, of course, is quite hilarious; so I took the opportunity to do a search for some truely malicious programmes.
I really enjoyed our visit to the Bug Zoo. I was a little put off by the giant tacky gift shop when we arrived, but had so much fun looking at the insects and listening to the guides.
The ornamental gardens had an accompanying insectarium. This is just a small handfull of the many bugs on display. Though they did have live specimens, and Fran was particularly taken with the bees, they were far outnumbered by those who were not so fortunate and now lie behind glass, pinned to a board.
Leptoglossus oppositus; a leaf-footed bug. There are nymphs of this species here. Lots of the leaf-foots look alike, but these guys are pretty easy to ID because whereas most species have a line across the back, these guys have three small dots.
Apparently a milkweed bug but have yet to see it on milkweed;) I know they seem to like agastache and for sure the salvia plant. Not sure if they actually eat the plant or hunt from it...hmm;)

I felt like a baleen whale this morning, feeding on krill, as I walked in Ashbridges Bay Park and on the boardwalk. I have never, ever, seen so many bugs. Swarms of them, clouds of them. Pity the poor joggers; no fun for them on their morning runs.
Didn't get one photo this morning that didn't have a bug in it, or on the lens.
