Ari posted some amazing macro's today, one of which was an extreme close-up of a ladybug with a wicked little grin on his face.. I couldn't quite get the same effect - or nearly as close, with my regular kit lens - and I couldn't find any ladybugs either. But the blues and purples in the bokeh'ed out background (the sky and the wisteria..) were just too purdy not to post - so here it is..
Plus - I liked the play on words in the title.. = )
On a pepper plant... I'd thought they might be butterfly eggs, but obviously not. "What's that bug?" says they're likely harlequin stink bugs.
Behind the greenhouse on a trellis sat a happy little stinkbug. I love how the greenhouse siding makes this look sort of ethereal.
Photographed along road to Murphy's Pasture on 29 June. This stinkbug, with an anteater's nose, belongs to a small tribe of stinkbugs Aeliini that contains but two genera. They are fond of grasses, hence my "common name" of American Grass Stinkbug. Its range is from BC-AZ east to MB-MI-AR-AL (per BugGuide) and has a fondness for barley and rye, so maybe throw in a few hops.... There are but a few records in BugGuide and none from CO, though it is thought (known, probably) to occur here
