I want to find as many "behaviors" as possible for the wheel bug. A little pet project of mine. I do have a partially flying video. I want a good wing shot with my new camera. Thanks so much!
Excellent Carol :)
lovely spotting, carol!
Wonderful series!
Great series Carol
What a great collection of wheel bugs you have, Carol. Marta, as it is still a nymph, I think that it is a case of "when you have to go, you go..." :-)
Oh, I just saw: "red dung" :-)
What is it doing? is it placing eggs in the leafs or is just "its call in the jungle"? :-)
Excellent crispy images of new critters, Carol!
