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)

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.

The #bug #Lygus #pratensis (#Miridae) is distributed throughout #Eurasia, Africa and North America. In Central Europe they have 1 annual #generation. #Adults and nymphs feed on nectar and various plants in the #herbaceouslayer and prefer warm #habitats. It can cover #longdistances by #flying. According to Y. Zheng et al. (2024), these #flights depend on #temperature and relative #humidity.

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.

I just love the ways bugs try not to be found. Here's a Phytocoris lichen-mimic plant bug from Texas, if you can see it.

No bugs here. Just lichen. Go away.

Interestinger and interestinger. This is Trilaccus mimeticus (#Hemiptera, #Miridae), a species only described in 2020 in this paper: http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/1876312X-00001012
The paper says, "Trilaccus mimeticus sp. n. is unique amongst Saturniomirini, having sinuate margins and transparent fascia of the corium, giving the mimetic appearance of a wasplike petiole."
64 records already in #iNaturalist, a few from before the species was named:

Quick shot from last night. I assumed it was going to be an alysiine braconid. #iNaturalist immediately suggested the same thing, so I don't feel so stupid, but it's clearly #Hemiptera.
It resembles #Miridae like #Rayieria but the antennal segments all seem off for that.
Any pointers from #hemipterists out there?

I think this is a member of the family Miridae. E.g. plant bugs. Like all true bugs, these have sucking mouth parts, this one was found in Central Park in late May.

#MiteMonday: It's crowded in the garden during Peak Anystid! Yesterday I saw a whirligig mite (family Anystidae) eating a small plant bug (family Miridae) when a second mite came along and had a bite. The first mite stopped feeding, but did keep one foot on the bug, as if to call dibs. It wasn't long before a third mite happened upon the kill and also helped itself to the bug.

Calocoris roseomaculatus on chamomile. This plant bug of the Miridae family has no common name.

The colors on this Neocapsus plant bug remind me of a toxic waste hazard warning sign. Texas.
