Pentatoma rufipes belongs to the Pentatomidae family and has a length of 12 - 15 mm. It is thus one of the largest bugs in Central Europe. The species is abundant and occurs throughout Europe and northern Asia. Adults can be found near forests and parks from July until November.

Or stink bug. I had no idea these stink bugs went through instar stages! That's the cool thing about photography... it gets you to looking closer at the world around you and you find out interesting things! I think this bug is maybe 4th or 5th instar. These are the guys that put an end to my squash, tomatoes and cucumbers for the year. I don't know whether to be grateful to the little pests or dislike them more than I already do! LOL Have a wonderful day everyone!
Overblown bug
Don't worry it's just a ventilation unit.

Caught this Dragonfly over a fast moving stream.
Occasionally it would fly down for a bug and return to this spot.

Color patterns are connected to their living quarters: generalists that live pretty much anywhere have fairly simple patterns of two strikingly different colors that they wear year round. Others that live in specific habitats have more complex coloration, and some can change color throughout the year. Specialist ladybugs use a camouflage coloration to match the vegetation when they're in hibernation and develop the characteristic bright colors to warn off predators during their mating season.
Have a happy day/evening
I'm not sure what kind of plant this is. And I'm not sure what kind of bugs these were. But I really like the colors in juxtaposition and the swarming of the little insects on this small leaves.
Ambush Bug (Phymata ) found in central WI.
Phymata Ambush Bugs are sit-and-wait predators that are well camouflaged on flower heads. When an insect comes within reach, they are quick to grab it with their massive forelegs. Despite their diminutive size they are seemingly fearless about grabbing bees and other large prey.

Agonoscelis rutila
Family: Pentatomidae (stink bugs)
Order: Hemiptera
Although an Australian native insect, this bug usually feeds on the sap of introduced Horehound plants, or others in the mint family (Lamiaceae) sometimes causing wilting. Although they prefer Lamiaceae, they are known to aggregate on a variety of other plants. In this case I think it is a different plant family; Billy Goat Weed, Ageratum sp. in the family Asteraceae. They also feed on various seeds including the Horehound.
The species is quite communal and aggregates with others of the species on the target plants. It has the capability to control the spread of the Horehound plant, which is considered to be a weed. However the Bug is the target of parasitoid wasps including the introduced egg parasitoid, Trissolcus basalis. Ironically this wasp was introduced to Australia to control another bug, the Green Vegetable Bug but has turned to preying on the native Horehound bug (and 25 other native bugs as well). So it seems that an introduced wasp is preventing a native bug from controlling an introduced weed!
