Bug and Rodents – Here's a little something different I did that's going into a show that opens today. I hardly ever show anything but this is one I couldn't wait to participate in and so glad to get the invite.
The theme of the show is 'Pest Control' and there's a bit of everything in here.
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.

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.
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.

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.
It is resting on a Yellowbell, a large Texas Native shrub. For Macro Mondays theme "Garden Macro". Many thanks to iofdi for the ID.
The Golden Bug. When I think of golden bugs I think of Edgar Allan Poe, in mystery, treasures, adventures; in Egypt, mummies and curses; in Aladdin and the Cave of Wonders. The Golden Bug is an icon of popular culture of all times.
Dock Bug, Coreus Marginatus.

Another phone pic of these Southern Green Shield Bug nymphs, taken at the same location 5 days after the earlier shot. At a rough guess there were at least 50 on this bush. They appear to all be 4th instar.
DPS365/268 found this little critter walking around the lip of a glass tonight ... perfect excuse to get out the tamron macro ! Beverages assignment?
This bug, wanting to become the smartest one in the world, kept me company during the last night's endless learning session.
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...
I think this is an adult Hawthorn Shield bug (on an Ivy leaf) if anyone could confirm the ID I'd be grateful. I can't wait for some better weather to get out & take new shots, for now I'm still raiding the archives. HGGT & HBBBT everyone!

These bugs were on the leaf of a red Abutilon shrub.
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.
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.

I SCREAMED for a blue sheet as I saw this tiny yellow bug with its black dots! :)) (Fortunately, I had it laying around…)
Tools: Aperture, Dfine 2, Viveza 2 and Color Efex Pro4.
A bit of a different subject for once. I found a colony of these bugs on a plant at the resort. They have a bit of a strange "trunk" in place of the mouth.
Temporary ID: Dysdercus sp. nymph
Pretty sure about the Genus now. Exact species still to be determined.
Even if I never know... I think they look cool 😊
Many of these small (4.25 in. or10.79 cm) Orange-crowned Warblers were migrating through Anza Borrego this past weekend.

I wanted an awesomely detailed face shot. The beetle had other ideas. Well at least it is still detailed.
