Insects

Quite taken with this little guy who’s just moved into my kitchen. Possibly a least carpet (Idaea rusticata).

Got some cool shots of a cicada emerging from its shell. Unfortunately ants attacked it while it was coming out.

Saw this grasshopper at work. Happened to get a sharp photo. He was hanging out on the side of the building for a few hours

@Mister_Brue don’t know, but in my experience lately, bugs ain’t scared of anything. I’ve never been able to get close enough to photograph them but they just don’t care anymore.

Side note: I’ve had an abnormal amount of flies in the house this year. It’s like the lord of the flies decided that he was trading quality for quantity though - they’ve been slow and dumb and easier to kill because they don’t seem to sense danger or value their lives. Maybe I’m just becoming a more efficient killer, but they don’t stand a chance these days. Others have reported a similar experience this year though so i can’t take the credit. This leads me to believe there has been a change in the housefly population. Just my thoughts lol

@Mister_Brue only in my house! interesting I wonder if they’re native, never seen one round here
