Clip Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Way too much fun with bugs today. Got some birding into but they didn't cooperate for photos. Plus no lifers or even State birds. Just a couple of year birds. Any day that includes Tiger Beetles for me is a great day though.

I looked thru my insect book but didn't find anything close. I'm not even sure what category to go to. While my book is good it is not comprehensive even for North America. I think that book you wouldn't be able to lift. Mine is similar to my Sibley's Eastern North America Birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the host bug is a beetle of some sort but I'm not sure if the little ones are ''babies'', mites, ticks or exactly what they are but I was very careful not to touch any of them! 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After birds, insects are my next favorite thing to photography and to try to ID. I fail most of the time to ID bugs but I keep taking pics anyway. I looked at every book I have and online also and like you I could not find this bug. For some unexplainable reason I get an ''aphid-y'' vibe tho. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
