Shield bug.
He was a fine subject, sat still for quite awhile. Don't you love when that happens?

www.stvincent.edu/wpnr | The Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve at Saint Vincent College hosted its annual Bug Camp for 5-6 year olds (with an adult). Campers search for butterflies, spiders, dragonflies, bees, beetles, and more!
I was so proud of myself. I didn't register that there was a bug on this gnome until I had taken a few photos of it, and upon realizing what it was I reeled in my urge to run away screaming and took a few pictures.

I saw an early instar on a yew tree in the same area earlier in the year but this one was on hawthorn.

Lucky capture. Thought there was one bettle on the flower until I pulled through the photos on the big screen!
I just ran across these weird red and black spiders today and I’ve never seen a spider/bug like it. At first I was thinking maybe they’re some sort of beetle, but there’s a lot of webbing.
Anyone have any idea what kind of spiders or bugs these are? Now we know these are Wheel bug nymphs.
Apologies for the lack of text accompanying today’s upload. I sliced my left index finger open yesterday and it hurts to type, not least because I usually type with my two index fingers! Simple descriptions, then:
Unknown insect atop an impressive fungi. [Warrimoo, Blue Mountains.]
Male bee fly doing it's terrotorial hover display hoping to attract a female They use their trailing back legs as rudders. All this one seemed to attract was another male and then went in for aerial dog fighting with it

He is not an insect, but I found him on the leafage. What is a crustacean doing in the jungle? I move forward and the alert bug jumped down the sandy ground immediately rolling into a protective ball. I can tell just by looking that he is the cousin of that evasive armadillo. The shell was glimmering like a Nautilus sea conch stranded on a beach and so appealing to see.
We went to the World's Largest Nachos event at SoMa Street Foods, which was put on by the folks at Chirps Chips. Chirps Chips are made with flour from ground up crickets, so there was a large "bug" theme at the event. Our favorite part was the Bug Zoo in the back. It was filled with hissing cockroaches, stinkbugs, blue death feigning beetles, and other insects.
