  1. Ugh, the bug!

    They say if life gives you lemons, make lemonade, but the idea of life giving you stink bugs and you doing anything other than going “ugh” is truly a testament to human adaptability

  2. Has anybody come up with a plan for the invasive Brown Marmorated stink bugs? I heard at one point there was some sort of parasitic wasp as maybe an option? Any chance that we can fast track that? I'm really sick and tired of finding a dozen a day in the house. (Knowing full well that there are probably dozens more I'm not finding.) #nature #invasive #insect #stinkbugs

  3. Focus stacking is damn finnicky. This is a stack of 40 images out of my R6, and it mostly worked out ok, except I managed to miss one focal plane slice on the top bug, meaning it's a tiny bit blurry, and it is killing me to look at.

    These hawthorn shieldbugs are absolutely *everywhere* on my cotoneaster. Every nymph stage represented somewhere, groups on all the leaves and berries.

  5. Finding the Ecological Balance While Countering Invasive Species rutgers.edu/news/finding-ecolo

    "In 2003, Anne Nielsen became the first doctoral student in the U.S. to study the brown marmorated #StinkBug, which was beginning its ascendancy as an #InvasiveSpecies... Now an associate professor, Nielsen is also a specialist in tree fruit, with a focus on invasive species like #StinkBugs and spotted #lanternflies. Her goal is to protect the natural world by developing sustainable management practices."

    "Within a few days, the eggs were completely covered in the hair-like hyphae. When the young nymphs hatched, they retained this fungal coating until they moulted.... the #wasp lays its eggs inside the stink bug eggs, but is thwarted when the hyphae are thick enough."
