Wheel Bug found in the United States. It is one of the largest terrestrial true bugs in North America, reaching up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) in length in its adult stage. Nymphs do not yet have the wheel-shaped structure. Body length of the nymph in the photo approximately 2.5 cm.
Our backyard is full of Lady Bugs this year. We have lots of aphids so there is plenty of food for them to feast on. We also have lots of finches too which I suspect are eating the lady bugs.

This bug left a present on my Heliotrope in exchange for a little nourishment...^+^
I found this pretty little weed on a jobsite a couple of years ago and have been treating it kindly in a little flowerbed of it's own. Called a Heliotrope, it has migrated up from Mexico to southern parts of the U.S.

Clarity not so great, but this bug was above my head and I had to hold my camera at arm's length to get a shot. It was the prettiest blue all over!
Unable to find an exact ID for this dragonfly...there were zillions of blue ones, but none that had the orange spot or stripes on its wings. I think it might actually be a damselfly.

I stopped by the lake yesterday in our smokey environment (thus the coloring). The smoke must have driven the insects lower, as the swallows, and this hummingbird, were having a grand time with the selection of tasty treats!

Sally and I enjoyed watching a Trash Bug in our garden last year. The 2020 one isn't quite as colorful (see comments section). I went inside to look for a bit of glitter (to see if he would pile it on), but he disappeared and then it rained.
This is a fun image, with one flaw, that Bugs has too many ears... And that rat seems to be extremely well fed...
