just posting this one because it was too cool to delete and 'stinky' is getting some fame going on from the previous picture :P
alternate title: "the stink-eye view"
This little guy narrowly escaped a squishing when he figured my office door would be a nice place to relax. He looked kind of lost, so I took him outside.
The invasion continues. This one later ended up between my pillows.I felt it before I saw it, recognized the shape, and hurled it across the room.He's above and to the left of my computer monitor right now.
Grand Daddy Longlegs does some heavy lifting to take this Green Stinkbug home.
Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware.
Taken with the Canon 70-200 and the 1.4 extender. I had to back up a bit to bring these subjects into focus. But the depth of field looks pretty decent.
The lack of any dragonflies was more than made up for by finding only my second ever Pied Shieldbug and the first to get images of! A handsome little beast I think you'll agree :o)) Lower Moor Farm, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust reserve, near Oaksey, Wiltshire, UK. 2014-04-14.
We call these insects "Stinkbugs", but if anyone knows what they are really called, please share it here. See the next shot in my Photostream for a crop.
This image was taken with an S-M-C Takumar Macro 50mm f/4 on a K200D. The shot was handheld at f/11. I had to bump the ISO to 400 in order to get the necessary shutter speed for sharpness.
This shot was taken on Nov. 1st but this Magnolia Tree clearly thinks it is Spring as it is budding out again.
A stinkbug, I think, feasts on a dead housefly in my backyard. This is a two shot focus stack., edited in Photoshop, Nik Color Efex Pro, and Lightroom.
Pygoplatys validus
A Pygoplatys sp shield bug...nice and colorful. Found many of them in Danum Valley. Merged from two exposures in CS3.

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.

Cosmopepla bimaculata 'Twice-Stabbed Stinkbug' on a Castilleja lutescens 'Stiff Yellow Paintbrush', Stink Bug Family, Pentatomidae, Ranchlands Natural Area, 1101July_08__2009
The "Jade Stinkbug", Banasa euchlora. I find a couple of these every fall, always wandering into the house, likely looking for a place to overwinter. They are about 8mm long and a beautiful green, which would be very cryptic on their hostplant, Eastern Redcedar, Juniperus virginiana. I've never found them on their hostplant--probably testament to the effectiveness of their camouflage.

Grüne Stinkwanze, Larve (Palomena prasina)
Die Grüne Stinkwanze, auch als Gemeine Stinkwanze, oder Gemeiner Grünling bezeichnet, ist eine in Europa weit verbreitete Insektenart. Sie ist eine der häufigsten Baumwanzen. Den Namen erhielt die Wanze wegen ihrer Fähigkeit, bei Gefahr ein stark stinkendes und haftendes Sekret abzusondern, das bei einigen Menschen allergische Reaktionen auslösen kann.
Die Grüne Stinkwanze überwintert als Imago. Im Frühsommer erfolgen Paarung und Eiablage. Dabei legt ein Weibchen bis zu 100 Eier. Die Entwicklung der Larven durchläuft fünf verschiedene Stadien, die sich farblich unterscheiden, hellbraun, schwarz oder grün-schwarz, gefärbt sind. Im September ist die Entwicklung abgeschlossen.
Our apartment is being invaded. I thought our cat might actually go after some of them. I was wrong. So what am I paying him for???
A naturalist from the NC Museum of Natural Sciences found this while on a dragonfly walk. It was eating the larvae of Milkweed Tussock Moths with great gusto.
