Mulch update, he's eating lots of fruits, lettuce, and parakeet seeds, so it looks like I can successfully keep him longterm!

Coreus marginatus / dock bug

The photos got fucked up before, dunno why

Don't mind the background noises, they are not made by the bug, lol!

This one is still a nymph, and it's wings are not fully developed yet. They don't bite and are harmless to humans, but they are stinkbugs so they do release an odor when feeling threathened. Feel free to pick them up and carry them out of your garden... before they destroy your plants...

I also found an adult one, sorry for the poor quality, my camera is to blame.

Yesterday at my first furmeet I was lucky enough to find this little guy crawling right next to me. A Fuller’s Rose Weevil, Pantomorus cervinus according to iNat. Apparently an all female species! Very cute and polite, let her hang out on my hands for around 10 minutes before putting her on a tree. Feels like a sign of good things to come.

Round Tipped Conehead I caught, which I've nicknamed Mulch.

Found him chilling in my kitchen like he was invited there. My guess is he was accidentally brought inside on one of our potted plants during the freeze, he was super calm being captured and I felt alittle sorry about throwing him back out into the cold when he was probably using the leaves as shelter from the wind and rain, so I decided to keep him in a small enclousure.

After some google research I found out he's male and probably fully grown, his wings look devolped but thankfully he hasn't been flighty at all. He generally seems calm enough to groom and let me mess with the cage without spooking, which is lucky for me. As much of a special interest and facination I have with insects, I still shiver at having to handle them and I don't particularly enjoy ominously knowing I accidentally let one lose in my bedroom!

He doesn't seem to have eaten anything I offered, but he had plenty enough energy to chirp last night and he explores alot, so I like to think that's a sign of good health! I'll try to offer something at night when he's more active, but if a few days pass and I don't feel like he's eating in my care I'll set him free and trust he knows how to do well enough on his own considering he's outlived the typically life expectancy of dying around October. Hopefully he had a lucky mating season and is now enjoying his retirement!

Another yellow garden spider moved into my backyard! She's been growing a bunch in the last few weeks so I'm really confident it's a female. I'm so excited abt it bc ARGGHHH she's absolutely gorgeous. I love the zigzag stripes garden spiders make behind them.
