The Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and was first detected in Pennsylvania in September 2014. Spotted lanternfly feeds on a wide range of fruit, ornamental and woody trees, with tree-of-heaven being one of the preferred hosts. Spotted lanternflies are invasive and can be spread long distances by people who move infested material or items containing egg masses. If allowed to spread in the United States, this pest could seriously impact the country’s grape, orchard, and logging industries.
Note: It's a PEST, so that you're supposed to destroy it when see them. I found this in my son's vegetable garden. They see quite a few a day.
Cats are everywhere in Morocco. They live harmoniously with humans, but rather than pets, they are neighbors. many of them are associated with a particular shop or business. People often feed them, but they do their part by keeping the neighborhood free of pests. They appear in a huge variety of colors and patterns, but there are more ginger, calico, and tortoiseshell cats here than in many other places where cats have the run of the place. In Islam, cats are appreciated and considered clean; they are welcome in homes, shops, and even mosques.
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.
The Japanese beetle: a gleaming menace that devours our gardens and invades the landscape. An invading intruder that no one wants to see and that is unwelcome.
Japanese beetles are a serious pest for agriculture, landscaping, and turf management, causing significant damage to ornamental plants, fruit crops, and lawns. Their invasive nature and broad diet make them a persistent challenge for gardeners and farmers.
On/Off -Thank you so much for visiting and taking the time to comment! It is greatly appreciated!

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.
Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 15 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis.
The closest relatives of mantises are the termites and cockroaches (Blattodea), which are all within the superorder Dictyoptera. Mantises are sometimes confused with stick insects (Phasmatodea), other elongated insects such as grasshoppers (Orthoptera), or other insects with raptorial forelegs such as mantisflies (Mantispidae). Mantises are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwelling species are found actively pursuing their prey. They normally live for about a year. In cooler climates, the adults lay eggs in autumn, then die. The eggs are protected by their hard capsules and hatch in the spring. Females sometimes practice sexual cannibalism, eating their mates after copulation.
Mantises were considered to have supernatural powers by early civilizations, including Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, and Assyria. A cultural trope popular in cartoons imagines the female mantis as a femme fatale. Mantises are among the insects most commonly kept as pets.

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.

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.
O tipio é uma ave passeriforme da família Thraupidae. Também conhecido como canário-da-horta e canário-pirrita (Ceará), mané-mago (Pernambuco), gaturão e canário-da-peste (PB), gaturamo, canário-do-chão, canário-da-grama (SP) e canário-de-velame (RN).
Die Käfer werden sechs bis acht Millimeter lang. Sie haben einen siegellackroten Halsschild, gleichfarbene Flügeldecken, einen schwarzen Kopf und schwarze Beine. Das Lilienhähnchen ist der verbreitetste Lilien-Schädling im kontinentalen Europa und Eurasien.
The scarlet lily beetle, red lily beetle, or lily leaf beetle (Lilioceris lilii), is a leaf beetle that eats the leaves, stem, buds, and flower, of lilies, fritillaries and other members of the family Liliaceae. It is now a pest in most temperate climates where lilies are cultivated.
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.

This is really a tiny insect, the Pea Weevil which is a pest to pea and bean plants. I am not sure if it is of the Lady Mantle plant which it is on! I think it is on the leaf, as you can see, to access the plenty of water drops to drink from!
The minahs are introduced species, but due to lack of predator, every introduced species of as become pest!
Most of the older farm houses had gourd birdhouses hung around them to attract Purple Martins which are supposed to help with mosquito control.
This image started out and went in a new direction for me! I have always admired these drawing-like looks, but didn't know how to accomplish them. This one came on my computer with complete serendipity. I wasn't even trying to accomplish this - I just wanted to make a very bland photo interesting and usable. I would welcome any instruction from those who know how to achieve this look in a more orderly & predictable fashion than I went through.

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.
Saw three this morning for the first time ...Eating all of my lemons and now even starting on my green half grown prunes .
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.
An endemic and highly threatened New Zealand species of wattle bird. More like a squirrel than a bird, they are noisy and conspicuous forest dwellers, preferring to hop and scuttle through foliage rather than fly. Introduced mammal pests have decimated their numbers, meaning they only survive on a few offshore islands or in heavily trapped or fenced mainland sanctuaries. Their growing numbers and breeding success in heavily protected reserves so they can rebound so-long as they're just given a chance.
Now something of an exotic pest in Australia, this pretty Pelargonium hails from the coasts of South Africa. And today it grows in the South African greenhouse of our Hortus. It's one of about 270 Pelargonium species. Whether this Common Carder Bee is attracted by flower's rose smell is anyone's guess. Perhaps it's only the flower lines that attract it to delve deeply.
