Harvestmen

'Are you telling me there isn't a default harvestman?' Yup. Saw one walking with hands and two silly little grippy fingers it uses to clean it's feeler legs. Bunny harvestmen are my fave.

Colorful Little Shield-Backed Bugs are True Bugs, Not Beetles discusses the beautiful shield-backed bugs, often also called jewel bugs. It shows several photos of one particular species of these insects.

Black and Gold Last weekend the weather was quite pleasant in the early evening, so I took advantage of that and went on a short hike in the Gothe State Forest behind my house.

Milkweed Assassin Bugs are Great Hunters and Pest Controllers

Milkweed Assassin Bugs are Great Hunters and Pest Controllers features a milkweed assassin bug that was found hunting in a patch of tickseed flowers. It describes the bug’s range, diet, hunting styles, and the author/artist’s feelings about the bug.

Searching Inside I really love the abundance of tickseed flowers that we have all over the place right now. Not only are the flowers themselves really pretty, but the pollinators adore them. So if I want to see and photograph bees, wasps, butterflies, and heaven knows what else, all I have to do is find a patch of these flowers. The other day I stopped at a bunch of them and as well as…
