Bug of the Day
I love this shot of a stilt bug (Berytidae sp.) doing its thing on a purple-flowering raspberry (Rubus odoratus). This is probably Jalysus wickhami, since they prefer to hang out on plants covered with glandular trichomes (gland-tipped hairs), but I am not sure I can id it to species.
Hope y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate!

Wonderful antennae on this guy!
@yogurtbear242 submitted: This guy delayed my plans to clean the sink, but I thought he was cool looking. Any idea what it is?
Found in [removed] early November. (Please remove the location. And if you need anymore details, let me know! 💕)
What a precious angel! This extremely dainty beautiful babe is a stilt bug, which is a type of true bug in the family Berytidae. They are mostly plant feeders who use their mouth tube to suck sap out :)

this little guy has showed up in my bed
he was very small and has these long leggies, i had no idea what he was
so i asked elfa, a biologist on twitter, and she said me it was a stilt bug from the Berytidae family
