I went shooting with my MP-E 65mm lens today. I need to get used to the very short working distance, and my macro pics will get worse before they get better.
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.
I found this "true bug" (Heteroptera, Hemiptera) on a branch of Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia, Fagaceae) in the woods today. I believe it's some kind of Stink Bug in the family Pentatomidae. (San Marcos Pass, 10 August 2021)
These bugs are annoying my hibiscus plants a lot and cause mutant growth. Along with the shield bugs they cause many problems. There are over 330 000 insects in Australia and it is hard to identify them but I will try. This one along with shield beetles can hurt when you pick them up. Must be some sort of sting.

Kudzu - Invasive and Non-Native. A bane to many. Still the blooms are stunning and efforts are being made to use it. The blossoms make a great jelly and the vines make spectacular leaves. The ground root makes a coating for fried chicken and some people fry the leaves.
Stinkbug of some sort, do not know ID, all I know is I wish I had some air freshener while I shot this...
Subject was live, this is a 6 shot stack
bug or beetle like creature (I'll have to look it up) - so close you can feel the fear!
edit: I believe it is a stinkbug!
This is what the face of a murderer looks like! This appears to be a stink bug or soldier bug nymph, either Perillus bioculatus or Podisus maculiventris. They are voracious predators and eat pretty much anything, including most pest species, so they are sometimes used for biological pest control in agriculture. They're bad news for anything living in a milkweed patch though! This particular bug killed one of my monarch caterpillars, waaah! So I decided to bring them inside again to keep them safe from predators.
Charlie had a little sniff of the Stinkbug and quickly moved on...obviously not on his menu today!
Stinkbugs are so named because they secrete a foul-smelling liquid that is repulsive to most predators.
A stinkbug gives off a very bad smell if it is bothered. The smell comes from a stinky liquid that flows from two glands on the bug’s thorax. Once released, the odor remains on whatever the stink bug touches. To most predators, a stinkbug tastes as bad as it smells. Many birds spit out stinkbugs right after biting into them.
