Another baby praying mantis! #insects
Harlequin Ladybird (Harmonia axyridis), specifically a color variant known as Harmonia axyridis f. spectabilis. Both the larvae and adults are voracious predators, primarily feeding on soft-bodied insects like aphids. Your roses could still die, but they'll be free of aphids. #insects #biology #ecology #photo #nature #wildlife

One more for #fungiFriday

I found this cap like this on the ground. It seems to be a Red Russula. However it makes me think of the classic “one bite missing from a poisoned apple” sort of imagery.

庭先でコブヤハズカミキリを見つけました。
枯れた落ち葉の中をノソノソと歩いていました。
コブヤハズカミキリは後ろ羽が退化していて飛べないカミキリムシで歩いて移動します。
ゴツゴツした体つきで、胸部の左右というか肩に棘のような尖った突起があります。

ちょいと失礼して捕まえて竹竿の先に乗っけて撮影しました。
撮影後にリリースすると、またノソノソと歩いて草むらに姿を消しました。

"IDK fooling everyone."

(Mantis-flies are one of the most deeply strange insects in existence.)
