I&#8217;d like it to be the case that this international bug of mystery with so many hits on his belt is keeping its identity secret for stealthiness purposes.
But the fact it that I just don&#8217;t know what it is :D
You&#8217;d think that a bug with such striking features as this one would be pretty easy [...]]]></description>

This was a very shy little spider. She was about one inch long, and the more I poked it, the more it shrank and tried to cover itself. Too bad, such beautiful colors!
Which brings me to wondering&#8230; what kind of spider is this? In that area of our backyard, I am used to seeing a [...]]]></description>

Aren&#8217;t these babies cute?
These are Fulgoroidea, or plant hoppers. When you&#8217;re walking on the grass, you can often see several of these jumping away at every step. They are very fun to play with.





They&#8217;re in the Hemiptera family, along with cicadas, aphids and true bugs. The characteristic that distinguishes them is that Y shaped vein [...]]]></description>

It took a lot of pressure to make it stop.
Then when I was holding it for this pic, it peed on my hand!

I turned it belly up so he&#8217;d think about what he did. :p

I saw an article yesterday on Arstechnica about parasitic wasps. It&#8217;s a pretty cool article, check it out:
Parasitic wasp genome offers chance to study sex and death
It made me remember this picture I took, of a blue mud dauber. I think the species is called Chalybion californicum, but I&#8217;m not sure.
They make little tunnels of [...]]]></description>

Nature does seem a little frivolous every now and then. Sometimes it chooses to paint pink spots on a longhorn&#8217;s back.
It is beautiful, but probably not frivolous. She always does it for a reason.
Thanks again to Enmos for identifying it down to the species. You rock.

I recently came across a pretty interesting blog called Ugly Overload, where there are, of course, many pictures of insects. Poor little creatures, they are not that ugly!
Anyway, I saw this picture of what is being called the strawberry crab over there, and it made me remember this spider that I found a few years [...]]]></description>

Most people looking at this page must have seen one of these before. They are pretty common garden spiders everywhere.
The name Argiope argentata means silvery silver face. I guess whoever described it first was really impressed by the silvery coating on their cephalothorax.
The Argiope spiders are very particular about their webs. They make an impecable [...]]]></description>

My dear friend Enmos spent hours trying to find out the species of this longhorn beetle I posted this week.
Here&#8217;s what he wrote:
I&#8217;m pretty sure I got it down to the genus (the longhorn beetle with the green/yellow stripes/spots)
It has got to be of the genus Ambonus! :D
Images of some species from this genus:
