Stink bug eye magnification 20X.
Stack of 57 photos. taken with 20X microscope objective mounted on DSLR camera.
Stink bug nymphs are usually adorned with colorful markings, which makes them far more interesting for photos than mature stink bugs. This one was completely oblivious to me and much more concerned with its lunch - some sort of larvae, but not sure what...I'm guessing a moth.
Photographed with a Canon 80D, 100mm 2.8 macro L, and a diffused Yongnuo YN560. I may have had a Raynox 250 attached as well, but Im not sure.
"The life cycle of Green Stink Bugs typically takes 30 to 45 days. The normal development from egg to adult requires about 35 days, but varies with temperature. As with other Hemipterans, the green stink bug has an incomplete metamorphosis, which means that the immature resemble the adults. Undeveloped stages go through five instars, and each time a nymph molts it looks a little more like an adult; this process takes the insect about a month."
The assassin bug nymph has been lingering on this gerbera daisy for days. This morning he appears to be eyeing his visitor, a brown marmorated stink bug. I think the assassin is too young to do any damage, but I'll be watching.
Today I start a series of macro shots that I have taken lately. I was hesitant to post this one, as for most, stink bugs will not be all that exciting, and it is not as sharp as it could have been, but it is the best I have for now.
Macro photography I find is very challenging and very rewarding. Unlocking what can not be easily seen with the naked eye does fascinate me. Just to see how little critters are build can be very interesting.
Likely there will be not be many stink bug fans viewing this, but on the off chance that anyone is trying to ID one, this link is excellent with many pictures of stinkbugs from the Ontario region. cjai.biologicalsurvey.ca/pmmm_24/pmmm_24.pdf
The article is long and detailed. I couldn't find this one to ID for sure, but perhaps we have species in Alberta that are not found down east.
taken on my shed wall, the same time I captured the fly image I posted a few days ago. I promise that future macro posts in this series will be prettier:)
Anyone knows what might be coming out of this Stink Bug? It's so clear that looks like water.
Sciocoris is a genus of shield bugs belonging to the family Pentatomidae, subfamily Pentatominae.
I've learned that if you stand quietly in a potential "wildlife" area, something will eventually turn up. Today it was this shield bug (or stink bug). A number of them were in one of my trees. Who knows what they were up to. I couldn't tell.
Gardening and nature watching: these are some of my hobbies.
I would like to shoot a picture with a gorgeous butterfly or an interesting insect, but it’s winter and everything outside is (almost) resting.
At the end, I found a guy in good health despite low temperatures.
However, it’s not a good thing: this is a brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), an insect that from Asia spread out in the United States and then in Europe and Italy.
The brown marmorated stink bug is an agricultural pest, that can cause great damage to fruits, vegetables and a lot of host plants.
Anyway, I hope you will appreciate it
HMM everybody
The fourth in my trilogy of spring Shieldbugs!
This is actually the same species as the previous photo uploaded the Green Shieldbug (Palomena prasina).
The adults over winter so have the ability to change colour to blend in with their surroundings as the winter approaches. This one was on the trunk of a deciduous tree not far from the fully green adult I posted last which was sat under an evergreen. I haven’t found any evidence that they can avoid changing colour depending on their surrounding but they were photographed within 24 hours of each other so who knows!

An insect decaled in hot rod colours? Yes please! -- Take a peek of this predatory two-spotted stinkbug, the main predator of the Colorado potato bug, in particular their eggs and larvae, yum! 😋 (Perillusbioculatus)

Don't upset or threaten these - some of them give off a lingering stench worse than cat urine...as some campers discovered after spraying a colony of them with insect-killer...carma.
As the weather cools, stinkbugs begin swarming, as they look for warm places to spend the winter. This is a relatively new phenomena in our area, but sadly has become a repeating trend in the fall season.

I was enjoying an evening on the porch watching this bluebird feeding the fledglings when I noticed he was bringing them stink bugs (the invasive kind).
Cool to see our native species adapting to eat the invaders!
After a hot Labor Day weekend with temps in the 90's, things are cooling off fast. 70's for high today. Still no rain.
I'm seeing a lot of fall flowers out there. Asters, Goldenrod, Milkweed and many tall grasses.
Day Lily season at the cottage last summer.

Dear Friends, I'll be back in the hospital tomorrow for my 5th chemo. One more to go ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your kind words and support. It helps more than you will ever know! 💖
"Thomas Kuhar, a professor of entomology at Virginia Tech, and his team have been gathering stinkbugs for the past three years near his campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, to use in lab experiments. The bugs spend the winter outside in insulated buckets that mimic the walls, shingles, and attics that they inhabit when the temperature drops.
That normally works out quite well for the bugs—but this year stinkbugs have been, well, dropping like flies.
“In the previous two years, natural mortality averaged about 20-25 percent,” he wrote in an email. In January 2014, however, Kuhar’s team discovered that the subfreezing temperatures had killed off 95 percent of the population."

Naturally, the 5% that survived are in my area. *sigh*
