I was in Ahwaz; one of the southern city of Iran. I was standing in front of the main enterance door, and suddenly I saw this "tiny little bug" at the side small garden.
The sharp orange-and-black plant bug is Orthotylus submarginatus. Plus a ground beetle (subfamily Alleculinae) and some shiny little beetles (to use the technical term :-) -- Scirtidae, I'm told, genus Contacyphon (www.inaturalist.org/observations/547493). Came to a mercury vapor lamp around moist deciduous woods near a pond.
This is a view of the field of daisies that has sprouted up in my dad's front yard. No, we're not much into lawn maintenance, in case you were wondering! ;) I'll be posting another daisy photo tomorrow, which I actually prefer over this one. I also have a few photos from a lighthouse excursion from a few days ago that I've been working on processing. Nothing particularly spectacular, unfortunately...unless you're into badly blown highlights and ugly shadows!
Steve is a good friend of ours who owns a sugar cane farm right in Cairns. On a visit a month ago I took some photos. Here is a sap sucking bug at work - note the sucking tube into the stem. This was on some plant growing in a small creek/drain that makes its way to the Barron River. I have never seen this particular bug before. Totally new to me. It has back legs a bit like a cricket.
Damselfly nymphs I collected from the river that feeds my lake. The freshwater macro invertebrates that inhabit your local bodies of water can be a pretty good indicator of the health of that stream or lake or river.
No bug was harmed during the production of this picture. ;o)
... and buggier in large ... if you dare

Some sort of Leaf-footed Bug, most likely Acanthocephala terminalis.
I just noticed that the color on his antennae exactly match the color of the anthers on the flowers.
I was finally able to identify the shrub as Rhododendron periclymenoides - a.k.a. Pink Azalea or "Pinkster".
I was getting ready to make dinner and found this special monster sitting in the corner by the recycling bin. S/he twitched his/her antennae at me a few times, but seemed mostly dead.
I thought maybe it was a dead-ish roach. The weird part is I haven't seen them running around and I keep the place reasonably clean.
Oh, did I mention that the head and abdomen were about an inch long? This was a big bug.
I guess my apartment is the apartment of infestations. A previous tenant told me she got infested with slugs when she lived in my apartment. I had a few fairly major ant invasions already in the last 4 months.
Apparantly this is a "potato bug" (or Jerusalem cricket) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_cricket . I thought potato bugs were the tiny roly-poly things that live under logs and rocks (maybe like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodlouse , but the ones I've seen were more dark and they sorta curl up into little balls).
