Just some selected photos from this past week…

This is a stink bug nymph using its piercing-sucking mouth parts to feed on a woodwasp.

Cicadas are out and about…here are a series of photos of the nymphal exuviae (shed exoskeleton) and the adult.

The white stringy things in the exuviae are the old trachea (breathing tubes)…when insects shed their old skin and emerge into an adult they even shed their old breathing tubes.

And lastly, a chrysomelid beetle.
