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.

I presume one of the large family of shield bugs by it's shape.
Not a great image but that was the best I could do in the circumstances.
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 funky bug, which my brother says is a dobson fly, I believe, was there to greet us, clinging to the outside of a screen in the cabin's living room.
A really patient bug from the backyard, it´s been in the same branch for days. It´s pretty small, about 15 mm and is kind of smelly: it gives an ugly smell if you disturb it. That´s kind of a surprise since all the smelly bugs I have seen before are plain brown instead of yellow, maybe it's a matter of gender or this is a completely different specie

Box and the Bug in the yard. I'm amused that the Bug is (even lowered) nearly as tall as Box, longer than Box, and not that much smaller overall.
The bug is sold and the guy buying it is supposed to come pay it off and pick it up tomorrow. Wanted to get some last shots before it goes away.
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.

This upwing fly loved by fishermen appears, as the name suggest s,in May when trout feed greedily upon the spent flies after they have mated. Live only a day and do not eat as they have no mouth. Truly a wonder of Nature.
