My Christmas tree came with an added bonus: a Western Conifer Seed Bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis) which I found on the living room wall! First time I’ve encountered this attractive (tho’ non-native species) #truebugs @britishbugs.bsky.social @rockwolf74.bsky.social @ecorecord.bsky.social

These bark bugs look almost mechanical to me, as if they were made out of copper and brass by a steampunk tinkerer.

Firebugs, Pyrrhocoris apterus, are spreading rapidly in parts of Norfolk.

Today @vannabartlett.bsky.social found our first one in the garden.

Usually found near Common Lime trees or Tree Mallow but this one was by our Hollyhocks.

The rare leafhopper Iassus scutellaris, beaten from elm at Toll Wood, Lynsted on Friday. Lots of large woodland and hedgerow elms at this remarkable, small site. #bugs #truebugs#truebugs #hemiptera

💭 I thought: That's a strange moth...

👀 Then it started walking backwards!

🔎 Turns out it's a #planthopper, possibly Platybrachys...?

Water striders spend most of their lives on the water's surface. Tiny hairs on their legs and feet repel water and allow them to run on the surface. #WaterStriders #TrueBugs #Gerridae #insects #macro #photography #Arizona

Throwback to when David (Neotibicen davisi) took on Goliath (Megatibicen grossa). #Bugsky #InverteFest #Cicadas #TrueBugs #Cute #Funny #Meme

This striking markings of an assassin bug would seem to be a warning to pollinators, or maybe it attracts them. #AssassinBugs #insects #TrueBugs #macro #photography #Arizona
