I asked this darkling beetle (Eleodes gracilis) what it thought about Elon Musk.

Focus stacking is damn finnicky. This is a stack of 40 images out of my R6, and it mostly worked out ok, except I managed to miss one focal plane slice on the top bug, meaning it's a tiny bit blurry, and it is killing me to look at.

These hawthorn shieldbugs are absolutely *everywhere* on my cotoneaster. Every nymph stage represented somewhere, groups on all the leaves and berries.

I've been neglecting my Pixelfed entirely too much recently (I'm awful at social media), so here's a Green Shieldbug (palomena prasina) hiding in a fading camellia flower. From earlier this year.

"In 2003, Anne Nielsen became the first doctoral student in the U.S. to study the brown marmorated #StinkBug, which was beginning its ascendancy as an #InvasiveSpecies... Now an associate professor, Nielsen is also a specialist in tree fruit, with a focus on invasive species like #StinkBugs and spotted #lanternflies. Her goal is to protect the natural world by developing sustainable management practices."

Wild harvest in urban Vientiane of a seasonal delicacy - lychee giant stink bugs. Despite the extremely pungent odor - to the point that latex gloves must be worn when handling them - they are prized for the flavor they give to jeow, a spicy dip served with many meals.
I consider myself pretty open-minded with food, but after a single tasting I can confirm that stink bug dip is definitely not my thing.

#StinkBugs grow a fungal garden on their legs to fight parasitic wasps https://www.newscientist.com/article/2429711-stink-bugs-grow-a-fungal-garden-on-their-legs-to-fight-parasitic-wasps/

[#preprint] Defensive fungal symbiosis on insect hindlegs https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.03.25.586038v1 [#preprint]

"Within a few days, the eggs were completely covered in the hair-like hyphae. When the young nymphs hatched, they retained this fungal coating until they moulted.... the #wasp lays its eggs inside the stink bug eggs, but is thwarted when the hyphae are thick enough."

I wanted to post something green for St. Patrick's Day so here's a cute little green stink bug (𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴) spotted in August 2022:
