I found this nymph of a "true bug" (Heteroptera, Hemiptera) on a new flower of Toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia, Rosaceae) in the woods today. I believe it's some kind of Stink Bug in the family Pentatomoidea with 5-segmented antennae. There are many different kinds, so 'nuff said. (San Marcos Pass, 10 July 2022)
This is a stink bug nymph. As he sheds skin throughout his life, he'll come to resemble a normal stinkbug more.
The Hitchhiker -
If you do think this is just an ordinary shield bug, look again. A Martian, revealing himself at the back of a true bug; large bulbous head and slanting almond eyes, pointy chin in black membrane suit. Here's an alien hitching a free ride, until he navigates back to the flying disc, the bug doesn't even realise.

After an evening of delicious ravioli dinner, then some cookie pudding for dessert, then some Devils beating the Sabres, and then the dog show, we realized we still needed a picture for today. But what was there to take a picture of? Pookie and I each grabbed a camera and staggered about desperately and mostly hopelessly. The best we could find was my friend the stinkbug. What a romantic Valentine's Day.

Skunk Creek Bed, near the sports complex, Peoria Arizona. Between the drought, the destruction of native flora by some so-called grounds' keeping firm and the spread of alien grasses, little in the way of native insect life to be seen even on the remaining Sweetbush. Less than a handful of dragonflies around the drainage outlets.
