I saw this bug on a car window. When I saw the image on the computer I liked the effect and to me it looks as if it is in space.
This bug is genus Riptortus, a pod-sucking true bug, with piercing and sucking mouthparts.
Body length 20 mm.

Oncopeltus fasciatus. In the Onion Creek Greenbelt, Austin. These bugs feed on milkweed plants and are unpalatable to predators.
Many thanks to Rockwolf for the ID help with this tiny plant bug! This is one of the two Stictopleurus bugs known in the UK - S. punctatonervosus and S. abutilon. Both are historically rare or accidental, but have recently become well-established in the UK.
I wasn't concerned
When it landed on my arm
Thought it was harmless
Note: Apparently Assassin Bugs can deliver a rather nasty bite, so I got lucky.
This bug was one of a number on our Acacia fimbriata. This shot and the one in the first comment box are obviously of different development stages. I have yet to see a mature specimen with wings fully developed. To give you an idea of their size, the diameter of the wattle flower is 5 mm.
I am still waiting for an ID. It is probably one of the Miridae family.
This bug's eyes are behind the long antennae, but it kind of looks like it has a sorrowful 'face' looking down between the front legs
Hands belong to daughter's bf....they saw the stick bug on the wall of a building and brought it over because "gangie wants to see it" granddaughter said....
It was the creepiest thing ever! BF tried to put it on me, I had to threaten him. View large if you have a minute.
Did you know?? .... there are over 3,000 species of stick bugs in the world and they can be almost a foot long when they are full grown.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all know that I appreciate your comments, however, awards and invites are not necessary.

European Starling took care the bugs for the cow.
喜歡看美國職棒的人應該對"doubleheader" 這個字不陌生，那是一天比賽兩場的特別用語。這裡只是取字面的意思，兩隻小鳥跳到牛的頭上抓蟲為食，也幫牠解決蟲害的問題。因此牛不但不生氣，反而很樂意讓鳥兒服務呢！
Punaise des arbres et buissons que l'on rencontre du printemps à l'automne puis se cachent en hiver dans l'écorces des arbres.
Plant bug and bushes that are encountered from spring to autumn and then hides in winter in the tree' barks.
Bugs never bug my head. They are amazing. It is the activities of humans which actually bug me all the time.

Speke Hall
The kitchen garden in the grounds of Speke Hall. The little wooden building by the terracotta bell pots on the left, is a hotel for bugs and insects. The beds in the garden are planted with potato’s, broccoli, cabbage, carrots and numerous other veg. In the far right corner is an area dedicated to herbs.
The building with the very wonky chimney that is situated just outside the garden is now a cafe, In the 1600’s this was a much large timber framed barn.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
My plan was to capture the shroom but then this bug landed and the camera changed focus. I had it set on a 5sec delay so...
Stilt Bug, Metatropis rufescens, (Berytidae family).
Length 9-11 mm.
This large and unmistakeable orange-brown Stilt Bug is a woodland species, feeding on the leaves of Enchanter's Nightshade, Circaea lutetiana, an indicator of ancient woodland. They feed predominantly on the reproductive organs of the plants.
Despite its name, Enchanter’s Nightshade is unrelated to other Nightshades. It actually belongs to the willowherb family and is found in sun-dappled woodland, flowering between June and September.
Found throughout much of southern Britain including Wales, although absent from Ireland. It occurs in shady, mostly moist habitats in deciduous forests.
Overwintering occurs as an imago, (the final and fully developed adult stage), under loose bark or dry ground litter. Mating occurs in May and the females lay their eggs individually in June and July on the stems and leaves of Enchanter's Nightshade. From August, sometimes also in July, the emergent new generation occurs, and nymphs can be found until September.
