A cool behavior I've seen with at least two different mirid plant bugs and several blister beetle sp. - the mirid (Aoplonema sp.) is not preying on the beetle (Lytta sp.), but trying to "steal" some of the beetle's toxic bug blood, possibly to sequester the defensive chemical for itself. #Bugsky 🌿🐙
A macro photo of an elongate, metallic green beetle on a pale purple flower with green fuzzy stem/leaves. Partially visible underneath the green beetle, there is a red and black bug which is poking the underside of the beetle with its needle-like mouthparts.

what appears to be a running crab spider (Philodromiidae) descended down a line from a tree into my hand. she had caught a mirid bug, which had attracted a cheeky moocher, possibly a freeloader fly (Milichiidae) taking a tax of her meal!

Stenodema laevigata, a common Mirid bug found in rough grassland. I photographed this one during our trip to Bicton on Wednesday.
A slender, sandy-coloured Heteropteran bug. Similar species have large, pointed 'spurs' on the hind femur, lacking in this species.

Here is your Sunday Spider, snacking stealthily. It's a male crab spider, (Mecaphesa sp.?), and he has caught what looks to be a plump little mirid plant bug. Both spider and bug are about 4 mm. long. (Montana) #Bugsky 🐙🌿📷🕷️🍽️
A macro photo of a leggy little crab spider that has caught a green mirid plant bug in a yellow flower. The spider is pale yellow with reddish bands on its legs and has many sparse, short, stiff hairs.

On the local park railings today a 10-spot ladybird (Adalia decempunctata), which I think has been infected with the fungus Hesperomyces virescens, not something I've seen before; & a tiny mirid bug nymph, Rhabdomiris striatellus.

Tried unsuccessfully to find Coleophora nutantella at new sites in the Norfolk Becks today. They feed on the seeds of Bladder Campion.
I found the mirid bug Plagiognathus chrysanthemi on a seed capsule. This bug is found in dry habitats and the brecks are very dry!

This little splash of red is a mirid plant bug (I think Oncerometopus nigriclavus), at night on a brittlebush/incienso flower (Encelia farinosa), Anza-Borrego Desert, CA. 🌿🐙🌼
A macro photo, front three-quarter profile, of a bright red plant bug with black legs and antennae, atop a yellow flower against a black background. The flower shows some brown damaged areas in the center, possibly from the bug feeding on it.

On the left is a sketch of a mirid bug, and on the right is a more detailed drawing. The detailed one is brown with green legs. The antennas are long, black and fuzzy. It’s on a white background creating a shadow.

Photobombing is a constant problem in macrophotography

(Heliolonche pictipennis moth in the Mojave Desert last weekend; green mirid plant bug going "Oh heyyy" in the upper left.) #BugSky 🌿🐙📷
A macro photo looking down into a multi-petaled, yellow flower with a moth in the flower's dark yellow center. The moth has a fuzzy gray thorax and cream-colored wings with pink edging. There is also a very small green plant bug in the upper left, peeking from behind a petal.
