As with most of my talks, there are few notes, but the gallery of amazing #insects may mean something to some of you.

And although literally no one asked, here's some pics of the wild bedbugs…

(They're securely contained in a vial with a tight-fitting lid. The graph paper is a label recording the species, location, and date they were collected. I can put isopropyl alcohol in to kill and preserve them at this point, but I need to buy more.)

Tortoise Bug (Eurygaster cf. testudinaria) on Agrimony, in #Bath #Somerset #UK. A species now moving north, probably in response to climate change.

A Cicada, Purana ubina, spotted at the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, Singapore on 1 Jan 2025. Maybe one of the less common local cicadas; I was attracted by the song it made (of course), which was different from the usual cicada song I hear.

A Water Strider, genus Limnometra, spotted at Thomson Nature Park, Singapore on 22 Dec 2024. Commonly found in water bodies in forests, their swift motions don't make it easy to get shots.

We found several more well-camouflaged jagged ambush bugs (𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘢 sp.) in the goldenrods (𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘰 sp.) on last Sunday's hike. Here's one:

Oleander aphids (𝘈𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘪) on swamp milkweed (𝘈𝘴𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘢), from July 2022.

Interestingly, these little critters are all female; no males are found in the wild. They reproduce by parthenogenesis.

Happy to get shots of this lantern bug, genus Polydictya, at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector, Singapore, on 9 June 2024. I'm grateful to a nice lady who pointed it out to me.

Nymphs of the Mangrove Jewel Bug (Calliphara nobilis) spotted at the mangrove area of Admiralty Park, Singapore, on 2 June 2024. They look very different when in adult form, but both forms are equally shiny and pretty.

A Jewel Bug, genus Chrysocoris, spotted at the Lornie Park Connector, Singapore, on 14 April 2024. There are a few of them moving about the plant. I think they look very pretty.

All these were taken at F16 with the flash units at -3.0. The achromat gives what should be a fixed focal length, but autofocus seems still to work within narrow limits.

It's great for snapping moths at rest or at night. Tracking more active insects is harder with fixed focus, but this #AssassinBug (which was scampering around on the wall) came out well enough to support an #iNaturalist observation. I'm pretty sure the species is Ectomocoris binotatus.

The nymph of a Tessaratomid Bug (family Tessaratomidae) spotted on 19 August 2023 at Bukit Gombak Park, Singapore. The adult of this insect probably doesn't look anything like the nymph.

An ambush bug on a purple aster. I hope I haven't posted this before, but its one of my favorite pictures. These asters are in bloom now.

A Green T Bug (Macrolonius sobrinus) spotted at Lower Peirce Reservoir Park, Singapore, on 30 April 2023. I suppose it's obvious how this bug got its common name. 🙂

A baby ambush bug sitting on a blackberry. I came close to popping the berry into my mouth, but noticed the speck of white just in time.
