Reupload of this bug shot with the contrast and brightness pushed just a bit more to get a purer white background for the whiteground group . . .
I walked Ruby in the local fields so I concentrated on flowers and bugs whilst Ruby was off the lead and running amok. There was so much to see and the weather was kind so lots of images today. The only problem is that I can't always identify some of the bugs that I make images of. It doesn't stop me but I really need to study more.
These four were pushing each other about to stay on the flower
This is a True Katydid, Pterophylla camellifolia. I'm probably too picky, but the true katydid posted is actually a MALE. Males of some katydids have elaborate subgenital plates that resemble a female's ovipositor, so it is really easy to make that mistake. The stridulatory area on the front wings (the brown triangle at the top of the insect in the nice photo) confirms that it is a male. Females do not have modifications of the front wings. Just keepin' you on your toes
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.

Milkweed bugs are usually found in groups on milkweed plants , often on the underside of the leaves. The plant produces a milky white sap when a leaf is removed. These plants are large (3-4 feet high) with sprays of small white flowers in the summer. In the fall , seed pods develop which are 4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. When the seeds ripen, the seed pods open up releasing the seeds which float on fluffy white parasols. Milkweed bugs can be found on seed pods piercing the wall of the pod to feed on seeds. Milkweed bugs are one of a small group of insects that have the ability to tolerate the toxic (poisonous) compounds in the milkweed plant. They are therefore important in regulating populations of this plant.

These bugs have just appears and seem to be eating the zilions of other orange and black bugs that we have in our garden.
