So I think these are eggs of the oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata) but an expert says they are Eulophus cocoons. Anyone able to weigh in? #hemiptera #hymenoptera #insects #wasps #truebugs #oaks #quercus #inaturalist #eulophus https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/381795284

A Tea Mosquito Bug (Helopeltis theivora) spotted at Bidadari Park, Singapore on 16 Sept 2025. A spine sticks out from the back, making it look like it has been pinned. These bugs are considered as pests in tea plantations.

An adult Whitefly (family Aleyrodidae) and nymphs on a leaf. Spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore on 10 Aug 2025. Whiteflies are True Bugs (not true Flies) and can be very common on plants. Being tiny, they are seldom noticed, unless there is an infestation.

Just as interesting to me was the behaviour of the mite. It kept running around the same square inch or so. (Normally they run around a much larger area and when they run around in a small area it's just a turn or two in a small burst of energy, in the manner of one of those hyperactive dogs so energetic they can't sit still for long.) It really did seem as if it were *looking for the midge*!

I felt so bad for it I smushed a plant bug nymph (family Miridae) and dropped it by the mite, who immediately took it. (2/2)

#MiteMonday: As I watched this aphid laden with parasitic larval mites, one small light-coloured one climbed off the aphid and ran away over the leaf. The aphid, disturbed by me handling the leaf, began walking away and shed a few more mites. So the mites seem ready to detach as needed at any stage, which is interesting I think.

Also does this count as a parasite on a parasite? :thonking:

#DailyMitePic: These aphids on a dill plant are being parasitized by larval parasitengone mites *and* also being hunted by an adult _Allothrombium_ sumo mite, elegantly illustrating the typical Parasitengona lifestyle.

It's possible the little ones are larval _Allothrombium_. I may collect some and see if I can rear them to adulthood so they can be identified.

Today's whirligig mite (family Anystidae) menu:

- a plant bug nymph (family Miridae)
- another whirligig mite, or an old exoskeleton maybe?
- a thrips
-a small midge-like fly of some sort

Out of sheer curiosity I captured about half a dozen decently sized whirligig mites and put them on the brown-eyed Susan (_Rudbeckia triloba_) plants which are currently covered in large black aphids. (They do not seem to appreciably harm the plants, which will only mature and bloom much later in the year.) I am not sure if they'll even stay on the plant given how erratically they run around, nor if they'll go for the aphids.
