An absolute mob of Large Milkweed Bugs feast on a burst Asclepias tuberosa seed pod. Luckily, I already harvest a few uneaten ripe ones for winter sowing.

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.

Three flat, brown, patterned bugs well camouflaged against tree bark. They look almost like tiny copper steampunk robot bugs.

Ok, maybe it has some red in its eyes, and amber wings, but otherwise a largely black, with white highlights and speckled beetle, on a green oval one leaf/grass blade.

Lots of them seen today on Garlic Mustard and dandelion seed heads along the hedgerow on track running from Retail Park to Straiton Pond, Loanhead. #Bugs #TrueBugs #Shieldbugs #Hemiptera A mating pair on a Garlic Mustard flower head. This one was inside a dandelion seed head and made a rather nice image. Then realised there were actually two of them inside the seed head.

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.

💭 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
