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)

Type locality confusion in the world of ambush bugs (Heteroptera: Phymatinae)

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 sortOut 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.

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.)

NICE ANT (nymph of broad-headed bug species 'Neomegalotomus parvus') my guess would be they're mimicking the abundant Camponotus in the area (second picture) #mimicry #biodiversity #ants #heteroptera Moyobamba, Peru #iNaturalist www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Also, right as I was coming home I saw a pair of mating thread-legged bugs (family Reduviidae, subfamily Emesinae) on the wall! I have only seen them singly before. They're extremely skinny assassin bugs with a mantis-like raptorial first pair of legs.
They're very hard to take photos of as they will try to get away from you and also do this shaky, juddering walk. (Camouflage?) Lots of better photos here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/213

So far there is only one coneflower blooming in the garden. It has attracted hordes of 1) carpet beetles (which feed on pollen as adults); 2) thrips; and 3) minute pirate bugs and 4) whirligig mites, which both eat the thrips.

Just now I was in the garden, waiting for the laundry to finish, minding my own business and not looking for any bugs at all, when a plant bug (Miridae) (I think, anyway) dropped out of the sky and landed on the table next to me. Two small flies were feeding on it.
Sometimes #FridayFlyDay comes to you, I guess.

The #dockbug #Coreus #marginatus (#Coreidae, #Heteroptera) is distributed from Europe to Asia and parts of Africa. It feeds e.g. on docks and sorrels. After 5 nymphal #instars, the bug overwinters as adults. Authors Pekár, S., Hrušková, M. (2006) found that the #bugs use all three of their #senses to #recognize their #food: eyes, antennae, and labial sensillae.

A common bug, but difficult to get good photos because the wings are so shiny. Bullrush Bug Chilacis typhae.
