INSECT OF THE DAY: the Wart-biter (Decticus verrucivorus)

Wart-biters are a type of bush-cricket. They grow up to 3-4 centimeters long, can fly if they get scared, and make a noise eerily similar to that of an accelerating bicycle. They get their name from the practice common throughout eighteen century Europe: getting rid of Warts by getting these guys to nibble on them

The upper two pictures: Adult male of the red morph.

The bottom two: Adult female of the green morph.

Might want to start a discussion about manipulated nature photographs: sorry for not being able to photograph them in their natural habitats

Skinny guy welcomed us. Been worried but he seems ok during rains. Our neighbors came and told us this twig bug is pretty rare recently and is called it brings us luck if you see it. She holds 33 gently and pleased to hear what we were told at vet. 😊🤞 It's a clear weather after the typhoon has passed. Getting humid. Off to work after surfing finals. Happy Tuesday everyone. #stickinsect #twigbug #insectoftheday #bugslife #clearsky #aftertyphoon #sky #gracerose #davidaustinroses #mygardentoday #aki_enjoygardening https://www.instagram.com/p/CR0fjZcszp_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Halfway to my fundraising goal for @friends_earth - read my last two posts for more details. Here’s the new offer: donate $10 or more to Friends of the Earth and send me your mailing address and I’ll make you a surprise 4 x 6” original drawing, painting, or collage with an insect theme and send to you via USPS. (full disclosure: if you’re outside of the US I may also contact you to reimburse me for postage.) This drawing is up for grabs too, in exchange for a donation of $25 or more and the cost of shipping if you’re not nearby enough to pick it up) HOWEVER I’m waiting first to hear back from a person who expressed interest in it when I made it two years ago. I’ll update this post when I hear back from her. .

Tiger moth resting on our conservatory door. Rare to see the underside. Was hoping to get the topside too, but it didn’t take kindly to me opening the door and flew off. . . . . . . . . #tigermoth #britishmoths #gardeninsects #gardenmoth #britishinsects #insectofinstagram #insectoftheday #wildlifegarden #lovemygarden #gardenlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CDL27nUp5zY/?igshid=19i2tmwu22iqp

Four species of "cotton stainers," also known as "red bugs," are known from India. However, the most important of these is the cotton stainer, Red bug appearance on cotton is after the commencement of the first open boll in the cotton fields. Dusky cotton bugs appear on cotton is when majority of bolls on the crop are open. As they occur at the end of crop season and the loss caused have been minimal, not much attention has been given to the counting their numbers than describing their status as low, medium and high. Usually the insecticides that were applied during the mid to late seasons against bollworms suppressed their population effectively. However, with the reduced insecticide use against bollworms in the 21 century and the large-scale commercial cultivation of transgenic cotton hybrids has led to the increase in population of these red cotton bugs. #bugsofinstagram #redbug #cottonstainer #rawindia #rawindiaofficial #insectsofinstagram #nature #insect #insectphotography #insectlovers #insect_addict #insectgram #bug #bugg #buggsoftheworld #insectoftheday #insectofinstagram #worldofinsects #insectart #red #black #redandblack https://www.instagram.com/p/BzHla55gQhD/?igshid=nie9u9k7f4c4

Going through old photos are the best! I love that apps are starting to do flashbacks and bring up fun memories. Especially with my kids! It's amazing to see how fast they can grow up. Here's a throw back from earlier this year. Most have sold already. What doesn't get sold at North Country Fair in Arcata will be part of a FLASH SALE! Here on Instagram in the beginning of October. #etsy #jewelry #floral #flower #insects #insectjewelry #macabre #goth #earrings #entomology #insectoftheday #butterflyearrings #butterfly #festivalfashion #festival #boho #bohojewelry #bohostyle #natural #naturaljewelry #nature #pacificnorthwest #statement #terrarium #terrariumjewelry #arcata #humboldt #scottvalley

The message is not so much that the worms will inherit the Earth, but that all things play a role in nature, even the smallest worm 🐛 #naturephotography #natureshots #naturelovers #macrophotography #insects #mobileclicks📷 #justclicked #macrophotographylovers #macro #insectlife #lovenature #nightlovers #insectphotography #wildlifelover #macro_world #lovegardening #nightphotography #insect_macro #insectofinstagram #insectoftheday #worldwildlifeday #grasshopper #macroworld #nature_perfection #naturelover #wildlifephotography #macrolovers #insectlover #mobilephotography #clickbyshiva (at Ghazipur) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPR2-8g1Gw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qhsitp4tn1nm
