Spittle bugs at home. Spittle bug nymphs hide in a mass of froth that is a liquid secretion they turn into froth by moving or pumping their bodies. Once the bubbles are formed. they use their back legs to cover themselves with the froth.
The spittle serves multiple purposes. It shields them from predators, insulates them from temperature extremes and prevents dehydration.
These bugs that look like ladybugs but are much meaner were swarming everywhere, meaning our trip was cut short.

Another bug shot from the other day which I had forgotten about! Not sure what it is, some sort of shield bug I think. The sun was shining brightly and was reflecting off his back making him look multicoloured! Thanks to Lady BH for the ID! This one is an early instar.
This bug lives on a tree that makes you sneeze like craze due to t's tiny feather-like filled pods. I sneezed for ages after this series of macro photos of these local beauties. This little guy is just about to shed his top skin, it's even more attractive underneath his current design wear...

These bugs have just appears and seem to be eating the zilions of other orange and black bugs that we have in our garden.
Another of these amazing true bugs, this one was different though, im not sure if its sexual dimorphism or another species.
Found this little bug on my window screen when I got home from work. Have not seen one of these for a very long time.
