Still another - not a whole lot else going on right now. Good to see the flies and bees still busy...

When I was growing up, Japanese beetles were a challenge. They would devour plants, and especially loved to eat the petals of my father's roses.

I've been married 39 years, but each time I see these little critters, I wonder what they're going to destroy.

Seen on the trail - first bug/flower shot of the season...

I think this is a nymph of the white-margined burrowing bug, Sehirus cinctus. It was nestled in among the leaves, though, so I couldn't get a good look...

does anyone know what this is as I'm not sure

Strange little bugs, hanging out on the gaura stem again...

Working on eating the Zillker Botanical Garden. Not sure what it's going to turn into...

First of these I've seen in years - on a statue in Zilker Botanical Garden...

A very small caterpillar - haven't been able to identify...

Don't ask me what this is, but it was minuscule - about half the size of a small housefly. Can anyone identify please? 200 mm macro lens used. Taken yesterday in my garden: August 9th, 2022.
