Leaf-footed Bug (Leptoglossus phyllopus) nymph

5/15/2012
found a little orange ant-like bug hanging out on a plant. according to THIS WEBSITE, it is the nymph of an assasin bug. (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Reduviidae)
Quite possible the assassin bug species (Zelus Longipes), based on what I found HERE.
But then again, it could be a leaf-footed bug, based on THIS page. Yes, on second thought, it most DEFINATELY is. See HERE at this link, you can see the similarity much better.

This guy was mega tiny so, even though the pictures aren't perfect, they're still pretty fabulous for capturing detailed pictures of an insect about the size of a regular fire ant.

This is not my picture, but it shows the difference and similarity of what I thought it was. 

So I found a toddler Leaf-footed bug. Interesting. Leptoglossus phyllopus is it's scientific name. 

Here is some info about Mr. Pest. Because I cannot find any information about it other than **PEST CONTROL** I actually think it's kind of pretty :3

Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) skull

Found a skull! A small rodent skull though, nothing too exciting.
And, thanks to http://www.skullsite.co.uk/Squirrels/squirrels.htm, I was able to identify it as a squirrel skull!

I really like the fly on top of it, it really adds to it, huh?

Brown Lacewing (Hemerobioidea)

dis is buggy, buggy sez hi
buggy keeps a ton of stuff on it's bag so it can blend with it's surroundings
woah, cool

Apparently... he might have been a larvae! I had no idea! I thought I saw some little legs or something. I mean I do... oh wait I found it! It's http://www.flickr.com/photos/lummydays/5125561965/ the same as this guy. My photos are not AS good but you can see a little detail maybe. HERE I found it, brown lacewing larva. It's not a larva like a butterfly, rather a little insect like thing that carries debris on it's back.  

"Trashbugs are immature brown lacewings. Like green lacewing larvae, brown lacewing larvae are predators, but some species cover themselves with debris and with the skins of their prey as a way to protect themselves from larger predators."

 cool. You don't see that very often! the species would be very difficult to determine because I don't have any defining characteristics about this guy

a little pile of trash walking? not quite
