My now resident robin helping me keep my box hedge free of bugs. He is helped by a multitude of sparrows.
A Green Bottle Fly and the tiniest ant I can imagine seemed to circle each other on the Black-eyed Susan in my garden.
The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is a planthopper indigenous to parts of China and Vietnam. It has spread invasively to Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Its preferred host is tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), but it infests economically significant plants including soybean, grapes, stone fruits, and Malus spp.
The species was accidentally introduced into South Korea in 2006 and Japan in 2009, and has since been considered a pest. In September 2014, L. delicatula was first recorded in the United States, and as of 2022, it is an invasive species in much of Northeastern United States and is rapidly spreading south and west.[4] L. delicatula's egg masses have been found to be the primary vector of spread, with Ailanthus altissima populations seen as a risk factor for further infestation globally. Ongoing pest control efforts have sought to limit population growth, due to the threat L. delicatula poses to global agricultural industries.
Note: I have seen many immature lantern-fly in my garden, you're supposed to smash them when noticing. Not much success as they flew away as soon as you approached them, unless they were on the ground, then, you might be able to smash them at once.
On a street near our apartment in Pest. And thanks to Endre Savari (on Flickr), I now know what it is:
The two-figure sculptural composition is meant to depict the theatre/the play, and is actually an inverted image of Hamlet, with the death-head figure holding the artist’s head in his hand. The head depicts Géza Hofi, who was a Hungarian actor, singer and the greatest humourist in Hungary. He died in 2002 and this public statue was created in his honour.
This Robin was catching insects on my rose bush, as it is feeding it's young in next door's garden. Taken this morning through the window.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
There’s a frog hanging out in my cucumber wall, hopefully ridding it of pests. I asked it to please leave the bee’s be.
European Starlings are an invasive, considered to be a pest in some parts of the US. Even so, I think that they are quite beautiful.

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
Obviously a shield bug, I think it's a Carpocoris purpureipennis. There seem to be more of them this year than usual. I don't think that I just didn't noticed them in previous years because with their vibrant colours they are hard to overlook, especially if you crawl over meadows in search of possible photo subjects. The pretty fellow is considered as an agricultural pest because he can damage soybean, beans, cabbage, carrots, raspberries, strawberries, potatoes, radish, wheat and apple trees. This information would have dampened my enthusiasm if I had found him and his numerous relatives in my garden but he lives on a meadow outside town and therefore isn't my problem.
I found this small and very cute weevil wandering around my garden. The wee pest wouldn't stop wandering(!), so I had to compromise on the dof (much less than I'd have wanted; maybe next time). Also, the colour was a bit dull in the image, so I added a tiny hint of warm colour in post processing.
I think this might be one of the Sitona species, but happy to be corrected if it's not, or to get more specific species details if it is, if anyone knows.
Blue Green Aphid (Acyrthosiphon kondoi)
Quite of few of these pests around now. Hopefully the Ladybirds will arrive soon.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!
Invasive Destructive Pest - Spotted Lantern Fly Nymph. These insects have caused severe damage to trees and fruit orchards, yet booths nymph and the adult are quite beautiful.
And yes I did destroy this one after photographing it.

Painted this wall with servo, limit and asesr. Those guys came out from canada, super nice guys had a blast. Sadly limit got to wasted and didn't finish his piece so I will have to post his later.
Aphid
Seen during a brief walk in the garden today.
Apologies in advance if I get a bit behind today, I will be having a nap shortly.
View from the Citadel with on left side Boeda and on the right Pest. The city is split in half by the Donau. Boeda is on the hill and captures a lot of historic sight to see and Pest is flat also with a lot of historic features but there are also very trendy bars,restaurants and shops. They even have their on kind of Champs Elysee :-)

...The youngling flapped angrily in protest as the hunter emerged from the cave, hoping its futile attempts at escape would work.
A guard yells over hopefully "Is that all of them?"....
The hunter pauses, smirks and replies "No. If you want the entire nest removed that will be extra gold."

Cowpea Aphid (Aphis craccivora)
Still not many insects around the garden. I did spot this Aphid today though.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!
This fly landed on the rail of our cruise ship while I was watching the sunset at sea. For this photo, it put its pest foot forward :)

UItzicht vanaf Vissersbastion (Halászbástya) over de Donau op Pest gedeelte van Boedapest
Pest is een van de drie steden waaruit de Hongaarse hoofdstad Boedapest ontstond. Het is het grootste, grotendeels vlakke gedeelte van de hoofdstad dat op de linkeroever (oostoever) van de Donau ligt.
Pest beslaat met zijn 352 km² ongeveer twee derde van het grondgebied van de hoofdstad. De Donau scheidt het stadsdeel van Boeda en Óbuda, de andere twee delen van Boedapest, waarmee het in 1873 werd verenigd. Informeel wordt de naam Pest vaak ook gebruikt om heel Boedapest aan te duiden.
In Pest bevinden zich onder meer het zakelijke hart van de stad, het Parlementsgebouw met de verschillende ministeries en het Stadspark met het Heldenplein (Hősök tere). Ook de meeste industrie bevindt zich in Pest.

View from Fisherman's Bastion (Halászbástya) across the Danube on Pest part of Budapest
Pest is one of the three cities that created the Hungarian capital Budapest. It is the largest, largely flat, part of the capital that lies on the left bank (east bank) of the Danube.
With its 352 km², Pest covers approximately two thirds of the capital's territory. The Danube divides the district from Buda and Óbuda, the other two parts of Budapest, with which it was united in 1873. Informally, the name Pest is often used to indicate the whole of Budapest.
Pest is home to the business heart of the city, the Parliament building with the various ministries and the City Park with the Heroes' Square (Hősök tere). Most industry is also located in Pest.
