Part of my ongoing project. Beetles are the most diverse group of organisms on earth. They dominate the world and look pretty cool while doing it. #harlequinbug #myart #inktensepencils #digital #beetle #beetles #nature #biodiversity #workinprogress

Harlequin Cabbage Bugs (Murgantia histrionica) lay clutches of twelve striped eggs on cabbage family crops like this Red Russian Kale (Brassica napus). They will hatch and feed on the plants until mating time, when the males may travel to nearby plants for plump, beautiful mates. Thanks @cryptogam_ for the microscope! #RIPtheseeggs #Murgantiahistrionica #harlequinbug #harlequincabbagebug #pestcontrol (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

Friends and Foes today at Mill Hollow, clockwise: this bush has four Praying Mantis egg sacs (called Oothecae, and every Ootheca is gorgeous), which means there could be nearly 1000 of these babies waiting to hatch from this bush alone to hunt for pests; I'm going Brassica free this year to try to starve out the Harlequin Bugs, so they just sit, fasting in contemplation of Cabbages and Kale that once were; this Whistle Pig will be trapped live and relocated ASAP; Lady Bug larvae are slowly eating up the Aphids being farmed by Ants in the hoop house; finally, my first Potato Beetle larvae sighting of the year - hopefully my last. #ootheca #oothecaisgorgeous #othecae #prayingmantis #harlequinbug #stinkbug #groundhog #whistlepig #ladybuglarvae #potatobeetle #potatobeetlelarvae (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

This spider and I played hide-and-seek for minutes before he felt comfortable enough with my to make eye contact.

The Harlequin Bug native to SE Australia and Tasmaina. Never in my life do I recall seeing such a vibrantly beautiful insect. Turning it over the bands of Blue, green and yellow are of those I've never witness on anything I've seen of this minute magnitude. Quiet a pleasant find on my morning run in The Edithvale wetlands. #harlequinbug #instectsofaustralia #insect #edithvalewetlands #parksvictoria #parksvic #nature #fauna #chelsea #melbourne #victoria #australia (at Edithvale Wetlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XdDuzBl3TOKgt_V6q2pthlzxP8jJzHjJBWJY0/?igshid=1rj3o556ebfwr
